10 Heaviest cricketers to play the game

7) Mohammad Shahzad (Afghanistan)- 100kg approx

Shahzad is one of the most entertaining cricketers of this generation. His charisma is second to none. The wicketkeeper from Afghanistan however also happens to be on the fatter side.

His weight is somewhere around 90 to 100 kgs. However, this didn’t stop him from becoming one of the most successful Afghanistan batsmen of all time. He has also scored the most number of runs by an Afghanistan batsman in the shorter versions of the game.

Another important point to be noted is that his stumpings are swift despite him being overweight. He himself doesn’t believe in being fit. He once went on record to say that “Why diet like Kohli when you can hit longer sixes than him?”
