5 cricketers and their football equivalents

#4 AB de Villiers and Lionel Messi

Both these players have been hailed as the greatest players of all time. ABD is considered as a modern magician in the cricketing world and the same goes with Messi in the footballing world.

Both the players are often burdened with the responsibility of carrying their national teams even though, they have some good players around them. They play for nations which haven't had any international glory in recent times and fans pity these players because, these legends deserve international glory. They have quite often faltered in high pressure games.

Negatives aside, they have enjoyed successful careers with both club and country. They are very humble and don't take success for granted. Both, ABD and Messi are very calm and don't involve themselves in controversies, on the field or off it.
