Top 5 most stylish cricketers in the world right now

In the 18^th and early 19^th century, cricket lived up to its reputation of being a gentleman’s game with hardly any place for flamboyance or razzmatazz to seep into the sport. However, as time wore on, the sport found its style icons who became fan favourites not just for the on-field performances but also for how they carried themselves both on and off the pitch.

Funky hairstyles, cool shades and expensive ornaments became quite ubiquitous on the cricket field as the sport went into a transition and the stars attracted viewership from all age groups. Over the years, cricket has found its style icons in every generation.

Here are five such players known for their style quotient in the modern-day cricket world:

1. Hardik Pandya

While Hardik Pandya is irreplaceable in the Indian team due to his unique all-round skillset and clutch game, his stylish presence also adds to his overall charm. He’s often seen wearing expensive watches, jewellery and other items on the pitch, which makes him stand out from the rest. Moreover, his funky hairstyles have also made headlines time and again.

2. Faf du Plessis

If not busy with his cricketing commitments, Faf du Plessis would easily sign several Hollywood movie contracts, given his chiselled looks. The South Africa cricketer is still one of the fittest players in the world and has an enviable physique. Moreover, the tattoos on his body complement his overall personality, as he does justice to every look.

3. Shubman Gill

Ever since his debut in 2019, Shubman Gill has risen up the ranks with his talent and has rightfully earned India captaincy for both Tests and ODIs. With every Indian cricket team captain, Gill is also a style icon for his millions of fans in the country. The India skipper is often spotted wearing stylish shades and is also known for his immaculate fashion sense. 

4. Virat Kohli

When it comes to stylish cricketers, no one can look past star India batter Virat Kohli, who not only rose to stardom with his match-winning performances in his early days but also for being a trendsetter in modern vogue. Be it his inspirational tattoos, perfect bearded look or new hairstyles every year, Kohli always has the attention of the youth dissecting his new avatar. 

Owning several fashion brands himself, the batting star keeps himself up to date with the latest trends and pulls off every look effortlessly.

5. Ben Stokes

There’s a reason everyone has had their eyes on Ben Stokes ever since he began playing for England, as he brought flamboyance into their old school methods. Stokes not only became a beacon of hope for English cricket but also a style icon, an image previously associated with Kevin Pietersen.

Funky tattoos, cool hairstyles, and ornaments to complement his mind-boggling on-field performances helped Stokes gain a huge fan following not just in England but all across the globe.
