10 Cricketers who could potentially become movie stars: Sports and Cinema are the two biggest entertainment elements that have managed to captivate and engross people of every civilization for ages. Cricket is one of the most popular sports of the world and here we have many superstar athletes who not only are extremely dexterous in playing cricket but also don’t fail to dazzle one and all with their super swag. We see many cricketers sporting weird and cool hairstyles, brandishing their acting skills on ads and movies. In this article, we will be skimming through some cricketers who in our opinion potentially have a good future as movie stars based on their looks, their swag and their acting cameos that they’ve done so far. Here goes the list of 10 Cricketers who could potentially become movie stars: 1. Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli.

He has grown steadily in stature as a batsman to the level of now being termed one of the best in the business. He has acted in numerous ads that have become greatly famous and all the bollywood directors must be yearning so hard to rope in this superstar in at least a single movie. With the looks of a typical Indian hero, his massive following and an unrivalled swag, this guy will become an instant success. 2. Chris Gayle: West Indies batsman Chris Gayle.

With his humongous sixes, his gangnam style like celebration, his intrinsic swag all make him an automatic choice to provide rollicking entertainment. He has a huge fan following all over the world, and he will take the movie world by storm without a doubt if he ventures into it. The swashbuckling muscle man from Jamaica with his inherent dancing skills can also make a name for himself as a good dancer! 3. Ahmed Shehzad: Ahmed Shehzad after sweating hard at a gym.

He is widely popular in Pakistan and venturing into films will only add to his already teeming popularity. It might be an option worth considering for Shehzad to hit the big screen after he finishes his cricket career. 4. Sachin Tendulkar: Sachin Tendulkar (Photo Source: Instagram/Sachin Tendulkar) His movies will become an instant success just because he (Sachin) acted in it. He possesses that kind of an aura that no one else can match. The God of cricket will be a huge hit if he considers venturing into politics or acting. There are a lot of directors waiting to make a biopic on the master blaster! He has featured in tons of advertisements and have endorsed products which went on to become popular just because Sachin Tendulkar endorsed it. 5. AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers (AFP PHOTO / ARUN SANKAR) AB de Villiers is an all-rounder. He has a rank of distinction not only in cricket but in football, tennis, badminton, science, etc. So why leave the film industry out of his reckoning? Put a tick there as well. With his handsome looks and good boy image, he sure will make a good actor! He also acted in the Fly Kingfisher’s “ollalaleyoo” advertisement as a RCB player.

(Photo Source: Twitter) This guy can get into his country’s film industry sheerly on the base of his height. The 7 foot lad can easily become one of the most popular faces of the big screen. The savage fast bowler will soon hit the big screen we suppose! 7. Brett Lee: Brett Lee. (Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) This guy has got swag, a tantalizing look, a funky hairstyle- all that it takes to become a block buster hit in the big screen. He can also make a name for himself in the music industry as he is a guitar player himself. Wherever he goes he sets the stage ablaze be it either with his cricket or with his swag! 8. Yuvraj Singh: Yuvraj Singh. (Photo Source: Parveen Kumar/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) India’s 2011 World cup hero Yuvraj Singh is an automatic entrant to this list given his handsome personality, his carefree attitude and his super-stardom status in his country. Incidentally his father Yograj Singh who was a former cricketer himself also previously acted in a few movies. Yuvi’s determined revival from cancer has also made his name appear in the wishlist of many leading bollywood directors. Sooner or later we will see a film on Yuvraj Singh. 9. Imran Khan: Imran Khan of Pakistan. (Photo by INDRANIL MUKHERJEE/AFP/Getty Images) The list would seem incomplete and meaningless without the Pakistani world cup winning captain Imran Khan. With the looks of a typical sub continent hero, and with the height as majestically tall as a skyscraper and with his immense popularity Imran Khan may well have been a huge hit in the film industry had he thought of venturing into it. He is a famed politician, but who knows with all these adequate characteristics discussed above he might have well been a success in movies as well. His biographical film ‘Kaptaan’ is set to release soon. 10. Brendon McCullum: Brendon McCullum (Photo by Kai Schwoerer/Getty Images) The stylish and voguish Kiwi has all the ingredients that make up the recipe for a fantastic hero. His spiked hairstyle, his chocolate boy like demeanor, his tattooed body all prove that he’s got the persona to become an actor. The Kiwi is an entertaining batsman on the field and who knows he might well make a name for himself in the big screen as well! Also Read: Ranking top 10 current batters in international cricket
