Top 5 Most Popular Cricket Players in the World

There are some wonderful cricket players who play the sport all over the world. However, some of these players are true world stars. Here are 5 players who every cricket fan knows about:

1. Sachin Tendulkar

He is by far the most famous cricket player in the world. Known as the “little master”, Sachin is famous for being the best batsman in the modern era. He holds various records, such as being the only player to score 200 in a One Day International game. The crowning moment of his career was India’s world cup win last year.


2. Kevin Pieterson
Born in South Africa, but playing for England, Pieterson is never without controversy. However, it is his skills with the bat that make him so loved both inside and outside England.
3. Shahid Afridi

The pin up boy for Pakistan cricket, Afridi burst onto the scene 10+ years ago by scoring the fastest 100 (off 37 balls) in cricket history. While he is definitely inconsistent, he has proven himself a regular match winner.

4. Ricky Ponting

One of the greatest servants to Australian cricket. A wonderful batsman and a great skipper in his heyday, Ponting has won everything there was to win with the national team.


5. Jacques Kallis

This veteran South African all rounder is one of the best players in the world, to this day. While he has never won major honors with his country, he is still regarded as a top class performer.
