5 WWE Superstars and their equivalents in Indian cricket
Cricket is inarguably the most followed sports in India and by a long distance as well. Cricketers are worshipped as idols in the country. However, the popularity of WWE in India cannot be undermined. Both WWE and cricket has its fans across all age groups. While cricket isn't half as popular in the United States, it still hasn't stopped from wrestlers trying their hand in the game.
With WWE seeing India as a major market outside the United States, Bollywood and cricket are two fields where WWE has tried to win fans over in India.
Since both cricket and WWE are so popular in India, it wouldn't hurt to compare superstars of two entirely different fields. After all, who does not love to relate things which they so dearly love?
#5 Brock Lesnar and Yuvraj Singh
Brock Lesnar and Yuvraj Singh probably have more in common than you might have thought of. While Brock Lesnar is one of the strongest wrestlers to have ever stepped foot in a WWE ring, Yuvraj Singh is known for hitting long sixes without any effort. Strength plays a huge role in their approach towards the game.
The other interesting similarity between the two is how they were struck by life-threatening diseases when they were at the prime of their careers. Brock Lesnar suffered from diverticulitis when he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Yuvraj Singh was battling with cancer during the World Cup 2011, in which he won the Man of the Tournament award. So did the disease stop them from continuing their passion? Absolutely not! Brock Lesnar made his successful return to UFC defending his title against Shane Carwin at UFC 116. On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh too was able to earn his spot in the national team again.
