10 cricketers and their hobbies: The busy schedules, long tours and endless practice sessions come to an end and the cricketers make the best use of those off-duty days. From travelling to cooking, from guitar to cameras and from gaming to simply staying at home the players steal time once in a while from their hectic schedule to do what they love to do, of course other than cricket. Here are 10 cricketers and their hobbies: 1. Virat Kohli’s workout: (© Getty Images) The poster boy of India loves to spend quality time with his family whenever he is not playing matches.

Mathew Hayden- the chef: (© Getty Images) How to treat a ball straight to the boundary is not the only speciality that Mathew Hayden the Australian smashing opener holds, ask him how to roast or grill a freshly caught fish or prepare the best recipes and he won’t disappoint you.
