Five famous Asian cricketers and their lookalikes

People from the same regions have a tendency to look similar to each other. With cricket being such a popular sport, it is also natural that there will be similar looking players in the sport as well. The game is also largely popular in parts of South Asia, especially India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. Here are some of the popular lookalikes of players from Asia.

Ajinkya Rahane and Dhawal Kulkarni

Ajinkya Rahane/Dhawal Kulkarni

Over the years, Mumbai has produced some outstanding cricketers for the country. They have, however, delivered two look-alikes who play very different roles on the cricket pitch. Ajinkya Rahane, the batter, and Dhawal Kulkarni, the fast bowler, have so much resemblance that even Rohit Sharma acknowledged the same.

Prasidh Krishna and Shan Masood

There is an amazing resemblance between two cricketers from neighbouring countries, India and Pakistan. Shan Masood, who was born in Kuwait, resembles Prasidh Krishna, who was born in Bangalore. The two have not played in the same match thus far but can get a chance sometime in the future.

Virat Kohli and Ahmed Shahzad

Indian captain Virat Kohli and Pakistan's Ahmed Shahzad are two of the most talked-about lookalikes in international cricket. The likeness between the two athletes is striking. What's more surprising is that the two have very similar batting stances, which has attracted the interest of fans.

Kuldeep Yadav and Binura Fernando

Kuldeep Yadav/Binura Fernando

This duo of India and Sri Lanka players caught everyone's attention during India's tour to Sri Lanka in 2021. The two bowlers have the same bowling arm but have completely different bowling styles. Yadav is a left-arm chinaman and Fernando is a left-arm medium-fast bowler. The aspect that strikes these two similar players is that the two have slightly long and curly hair.

Yuvraj Singh and Herry Tangri

Right-handed batter Herry Tangri played at the district level from Punjab, but could not make a bigger mark in the sport. He then pursued acting instead. He has similar features to legendary Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh. Interestingly, he portrayed Yuvraj Singh in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, starring Sushant Singh Rajput.
