Camaraderie between players across the countries have become stronger in recent years. Specially after the introduction of T20 leagues around the globe, cricketers have become much more accessible. And as a result, one can clearly see that Indian fans do have their own international favourites these days on which they shower unprecedented love. We take a look at 5 of them:
AB de Villiers
This one is probably the first global superstar of Cricket. AB de Villiers has played for various franchises in different countries but his fans in India are close to unparalleled. Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore for last few years, his bromance with Virat Kohli has been at center of talks in media. Loyal fans of RCB fills Chinnaswamy day in and day out despite their modest performances and one of the reasons for that is this genius from South Africa.
Lasith Malinga
The chants of “Malinga…Malinga..” seem to be vocal every time Mumbai Indians step onto the field at Wankhede. His toe-crushing yorkers have special place in the hearts of Mumbai Indians’ fans. Lasith Malinga remains one of the building blocks of Mumbai Indians and he is part of franchise since 2009 season.
