5 Silent heroes of the cricket world

5 Silent heroes of the cricket world: Paparazzi’s and the game of cricket go hand in hand. No matter what the on field heroes do the cameras never fail to follow, headlines and social media capture every moment of their lives. Holidays, parties or family gathering the star faces never go unnoticed. Yet, there are a few silent heroes who rarely make news about their personal life or whereabouts, these stars shine solely through their performances. Rarely getting into a quarrel or making a show out of the celebration, not amongst the favourite faces of the advertisers and a distant relationship with the social media site. Despite all that, they have a special place in the hearts of their fans. The heroes, whose games does the talking. Here are the 5 Silent heroes of the cricket world: 1. Alastair Cook: Alastair Cook.

Cook has never grabbed attention outside the cricket world, social media site is a big ‘No No’ for him. Living in a farm away from the city working his way with the tractors and cattle, with his childhood love, that is how he spends his days.

Taylor has been a hot favourite, his aggressive batting style thrills the fans and that is enough he does not need to hold a loud celebration of his accomplishments. Advertisements and social media updates are not his forte and definitely his batting is aggressive enough to speak for him so no fights land him into the headlines. The silent slayer lets his game do the talking. 3. Ajinkya Rahane: Ajinkya Rahane. (© Getty Images) India is a cricket loving rather, ‘cricket crazy’ nation. Being a prominent player of the Indian team and staying away from the glamorous life that comes as a legacy is tough. Although the top order strength and savior of the Indian team Ajinkya Rahane has been quite successful in doing so. He is the smiling, sweet face nobody can hate with a batting talent that brings back the winning hopes of the fans that is enough reasons for ruling the hearts of the cricket fans. 4. Shivnarine Chanderpaul: Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

He played with the crabbiest techniques and he played hard, but rarely was he seen grabbing the spot light for reasons other than his game. 5. Kane Williamson: Kane Williamson.

Kane Williamson is one of the young rising stars of the New Zealand teams but his shy nature has kept him away from the eyes of the cameras. His cute looks on field is the only perk that his female fans can enjoy, Williamson is a mystery outside the cricket field but his boyish charm and match wining knocks have won him many hearts.
