2. Virender Sehwag - Salman Khan

Virender Sehwag

Salman Khan, much like Virender Sehwag, has built a career on style and attitude. Both men are not the most technically proficient, but they have overcome their shortcomings with a mantra that ensures they never complicate situations.

Despite minimal footwork, Sehwag forged a legendary career by adopting an aggressive, uncomplicated approach to batting. He often played on the psychological fear he imposed on bowlers with his aggression. While this approach occasionally resulted in disappointment, when Sehwag was in his zone no opposition could come in his way - he could single-handedly tip the match in the Indian team's favor.

Similarly, Salman Khan too has molded a career on an uncomplicated approach to acting, takes and dialogue. His focus on style and charisma over acting skill has created a legion of fans who completely adore all his movies. Due to the reliance on Salman's charisma, his films either break all past records or fail miserably.

Both men are not afraid to speak their mind either, which has often lead to controversy.
