Most handsome cricketers XI of all time
Even though cricket is just another sport, it is much more than mere batting, bowling and fielding. Especially in India, where cricket has become more of a religion, the sport affects almost every generation in some way or the other. With the emergence of the commercial aspect to the game, cricket has gained immense popularity in many countries today.
In today’s generation, we judge cricketers not just on their ability to bat and bowl but also on their looks and glamour quotient. Even in the by-gone years, we have come across some extremely handsome cricketers who created a sensation with their looks. With more and more cricketers entering the modelling industry in recent times, we get to see some of the sexiest and most charming cricketers on screen almost daily on television and in the newspapers.
Having said that, it's a fun exercise to look at some of the most handsome hunks of the gentleman’s game who have made people, especially girls, drool over their charm and looks. While we have come across many good looking and charming cricketers, some have stood out with their dashing looks. While some may find fault with the names of the selected players, it's simply impossible to include every handsome cricketer in the XI.
Here we bring you the Most Handsome Cricketer’s XI of all time (according to batting order):
