Very poorly sketched photos of athletes that are actually pretty impressive

Yep, I’m Sourav Ganguly.

Yet another social media trend has captured our attention, and this is hilarious. At least a few of these attempts are. So, users of reddit were asked to draw a player in MS Paint so that other users could guess who that athlete was.

These illustrations might not be as technically refined as you would want it to be, but the references are spot on.

This was their reaction.
