5 Actors who began their careers as cricketers

4. Angad Bedi

The name is known to all, not because of his achievements in cricket, but because of his father’s achievements in the sport. Angad Bedi is the son of former India cricketer and legend Bishan Singh Bedi who played international cricket between 1966 to 1979.

Angad Bedi has been a part of Delhi’s Under-19 team but did not continue the game for long. He shifted his focus to modeling and went on to join the entertainment industry. But the stylish actor played the role of a cricketer in one of the most acclaimed web series Inside Edge.

Angad Bedi, during his cricketing days, played a role exactly similar to that of his father.  He was a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and a right-hand batter. He has also expressed his desire to play the sport, on his social media handle, when he posted a picture of himself in a retro India Test kit saying he missed cricket in whites.
