Tatooed Players XI

Herschelle Gibbs’ barbed wire tattoo can be seen on his right arm

Apart from producing some wonderful moments on the field for their respective teams and mesmerising fans with their incredible skills, there are a host of international cricketers who have taken a keen interest in getting their bodies inked with various tattoos. 

While some of these players have given a lot of thought on their tattoo by getting something meaningful and deep, there are a few of them who have gotten a tattoo which is more visually pleasing than meaningful.

In this article, we take a look at the tattooed players XI. 

Note : This list is based on the player’s tattoos and not their playing ability, and includes current and former cricketers.

#11 Herschelle Gibbs

Herschelle Gibbs was one of the most successful batsmen during his time. He was known for his aggression with the bat and his brilliant fielding as well. He has played over 300 matches for South Africa in total with an average which was around 40. He is best known for his incredible knock in the ODI between Australia and South Africa where the latter chased down a total of 434, thus making it the highest successful ODI run chase till date. 

The stylish player he is, he has adorned a few tattoos on his body as well.  He has a cross on his left arm and barbed wire on his right arm. Surprisingly, he was denied entry into a nightclub in Australia after a Big Bash match in 2012 due to his tattoos.
