5 footballers and their cricketing equivalents

#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Chris Gayle

The two most entertaining and effective sportsmen in cricket and football right now, both Gayle and Zlatan Ibrahimovic certainly have a lot in common. Ibrahimovic is probably one of the few footballers in the world who is loved universally, just like Gayle.

While Zlatan calls himself God or Lion frequently Gayle has a couple of interesting nicknames of his own like Universe Boss and Six Machine. The Manchester United man is probably one of the few footballers who when he is on song can take the attention away from both Messi and Ronaldo. Gayle, also on his day can be absolutely devastating. The Jamaican has ended quite a few bowlers aspirations and careers with his savage hitting.

What makes them most similar to each other is the fact that both can do absolutely crazy and unbelievable things and get away with it because only they can. To watch Zlatan and Gayle in full flow is definitely a sight to behold for any sports fan.
