Top 10 Cricketers and their Equivalent Characters in 'Game of Thrones'

Top 10 Cricketers and their Equivalent Characters in ‘Game of Thrones’: Perhaps the topic might seem weird to some but I do take this audacity to tape a link between the real life cricketing stars to the auspicious yet fictional characters of Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, The Most popular TV series till date. Well, to bind things up under a single envelope, we compare the various aspects of the cricketers, viz. their attitude, respect for the game, their fate and the like to co-relate to the characters of the ancient times in Game of Thrones. So, here goes the list of the Top 10 Cricketers and their Equivalent Characters in ‘Game of Thrones’: Note: The players included here are just compared on a light note. No intentions to embarrass any player are there, it just a work of fiction, to be enjoyed, if one does not think deep on it! 1 – Virat Kohli and Robb Stark: Virat Kohli.

Also, both lack experiences which make them commit mistakes at times. Finally, we hope Virat Kohli doesn’t face such a pathetic conclusion to Cricket as Rob Stark faced to Life. 2 – Sourav Ganguly and Eddard Stark: Sourav Ganguly.

Apart from being a great player himself, Ganguly did have his share of luck. 3 – AB de Villiers and Daenerys Targaryen: Ab de Villilers. (© Getty Images) (Source) Come on, don’t focus on the gender! Daenerys rose to ultimate power due to her ability to rule and also her supremacy of prowess over the Dragons. Mother of Dragons resembles the Father of Inventory Cricketing Shots to this regard. AB de Villiers has to be admired for his scintillating talents in the game and also he led South Africa to become the semi finalists in the World Cup, 2015. Also, similar to Daenerys in Game of Thrones, de Villiers is perhaps the most loved cricketer in the modern times. 4 – Chris Gayle and Khal Drogo: Chris Gayle.

Also, it is hard to expect something from each of them when not in mood. Something which also binds them is their celebrations in somewhat like Calypso style! 5 – Rahul Dravid and Jon Snow: Rahul Dravid. (© Getty Images) (Source) This comparison has got points to back up! Well, Dravid stood as one of the most popular architects of the Indian Cricket but has been deprived of supremacy most of the times. This is quite similar to Jon Snow. Also, when in power, Dravid did commit a number of mistakes during his days as a captain, similar thing occurred to Jon Snow when he stood as the Lord Commander of the Night’s watch. Also, Dravid faced an undeserving end to his cricketing career, an end least expected. This is yet another origin of similarity as Jon Snow too had an undeserving end. 6 – Michael Clarke and Petyr Baelish: Michael Clarke.

Clarke took Australia to the World Cup triumph in 2015 while Lord Baelish, secretly controls quite a few events in the Seven Kingdoms through means of his sharpened intelligence. Clarke also has the reputation for tricking the umpires on a number of occasions. Let’s not go there further! 7 – S Sreesanth and Theon Greyjoy: Sreesanth.(Photo Source: AFP) (Source) Well misery might be the word for them. Both of them possessed talents but due to their possession of crooked greed, downfall occurred upon them. Sreesanth has been banished to play Cricket in his entire life while Theon Grejoy was slavered by the House of Bolton for a commanding period of time. 8 – MS Dhoni and Tyrion Lannister: MS Dhoni (© Getty Images) (Source) The Captain of the Indian team has been one of the architects behind India’s success for a number of years and one does not possess such a foreseeing capabilities of situations until he is MS Dhoni. The case is quite much similar to Tyrion Lannister. He might not have been the best in the business but due to the possession of magnified intelligence, Tyrion did manage to survive even in the dreadful situations. Also, both of them does possess the sublime capabilities to lead the team right from the front and as an example. 9 – Brendon McCullum and Dario Naharis: Brendon McCullum. (© Getty Images) (Source) Owing to the spirited nature of each of them, they are quite much equivalent. In fact, both of them played the role of saviours for a number of times. Also, they don’t lack aggression and do possess the sublime talents to put the aggressive ploys to effect. 10 – Suresh Raina and Ser Davos: Suresh Raina. (© Getty Images) (Source) If one desires to know about dedication for the team, none better than these two can teach it well. Raina has been perhaps one of the most loyal and dedicated team member of the Indian team in the recent past and that is what led up the team spirit. Ser Davos Seaworth also possessed similar dedication in serving Stannis Baratheon and would readily embrace death if it is asked for Stannis’ service.
