If cricketers were superheroes

We live in a country where one of the greatest cricketers of all time is worshipped as God. While it is not for me to debate whether that moniker is apt or not, I can definitely dwell into comic book nerdom and fantasise about how it would be if cricketers were superheroes instead of mere mortals. Here are a few that I think would make perfect sense. Feel free to add your own or debate the veracity of my picks.

#1 Superman Sachin

To get things underway, we’ll start with the very obvious. Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps the closest cricketer to come close to Superman, not only for his superhuman abilities with the bat, but also the fact that he can do practically everything, and quite good at that. Add to that, his clean-cut image and a career without many controversies, he would be a perfect Superman.
