India has a rich history of producing cricketing superstars who have captivated fans worldwide. From the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh to the modern-day virtuosos like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, the country has been a consistent breeding ground for exceptional talent.
Virat Kohli – Only name on Lankan streets!
In a recent activity conducted by Insidesport, Sri Lankan cricket fans were asked to name the Indian cricketer they would most love to have in their team. The results were a clear indication of India’s dominance in the cricketing world, particularly about the modern-day Virat ‘the run-machine’ Kohli.
Virat Kohli emerged as the overwhelming favorite, with 17 out of 30 respondents selecting him as their top pick. This is a testament to the immense popularity and impact Kohli has had on the game. It is understandable man, the legendary star has hammered 80 centuries.
Suryakumar, Bumrah follows Kohli
Following closely behind Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav garnered significant support with five votes. The flamboyant batter’s ability to score runs at an astonishing rate and his innovative shot-making have made him a fan favorite. Jasprit Bumrah, the undisputed king in bowling with his exceptional skills and yorkers, secured the third spot with three votes.
These results underscore the admiration and respect that Indian cricketers command in neighboring countries. The desire to have Kohli, Yadav, or Bumrah in their team highlights the impact these players have had on the global cricketing landscape.
