#1 Ashish Nehra

It starts with that wide grin and then becomes bubbly laughter. Ashish Nehra takes first place when it comes to ranking the funniest cricket players. The Delhi pacer showcased his ultimate comic side during Gaurav Kapur's Breakfast with Champions while narrating some anecdotes that had fans in splits.

It wasn't just that. Nehra was funny even on the field and that served as a timely reminder that in the end, cricket is just a game, and fun matters.

The TikTok videos tell you everything you need to know about the kind of fun-loving persona the spinner is. It isn't just off the field with his slapstick captions and good-natured humor, there's enough evidence of it on the field too.

Chahal is a natural in front of the camera, something which first came to light when he started hosting 'Chahal TV' while touring with the Indian side. A quick peek at his Instagram is enough to keep fans glued to his impeccable comic timing.

With his quick wit and humour, Chahal keeps the spirit high in the dugout as well.

#3 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is one of those quiet-yet-cheeky cricket stars. One of the former Indian skipper's funniest comments was directed at S Sreesanth:

"Oyee Sree girlfriend nahi hai udhar, idhar aaja thoda” (Sreesanth your girlfriend is not there, please come a little squarer)," remarked MS Dhoni.

The piece of banter was not the last and the former India skipper is known for being cheeky on and off the field. He may be ice cool and composed under pressure, but his comic timing is as perfect as the powerful shots he is capable of unleashing.

#4 Yuvraj Singh

Once a prankster, always a prankster. Yuvraj Singh's Instagram gives a glimpse of the adorable antics he pulls, which makes him No.4 on our list of funniest Indian cricket players.

That said, he was remarkably funny on the field as well, and a look at his IPL career reveals the Indian star's cheery nature.

#5 Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan might be busy prepping to lead a new-look Indian team against Sri Lanka, but he is very much a fun-loving bloke on and off the field. His ribbing on the field, hilarious behind-the-scenes during IPL commercials, and his dance moves are enough to make anyone break into laughter.

Shikhar Dhawan has no qualms about shaking a leg or sharing a good laugh. His rendition of "Daddy Cool" alongside his son is as heartwarming and funny as it gets.
