We cannot say that an athlete can perform well in any sport alone. There are many athletes in the world who can shine in different sports. A good example of this is former South African superstar AB de Villiers and former England star cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
Before coming to cricket, both of them excelled in some other competitive sports. Similarly, let us take a look at some of the key players who have the potential to shine not only in cricket but also in other sports and what they would be playing in an alternate universe.
Jamieson as NBA star
New Zealand’s tallest pacer Kyle Jamieson can also excel in basketball. The main reason for this is the height. At 6 feet 8 inches tall, Jamieson could rise to the level of a superstar if he joins the NBA in the United States. Not only his height but also his strength will help him to shine in basketball.
Siraj as an Athlete
Indian pace bowler Mohammad Siraj is more likely to be an athelete. The height and the runup when bowling are similar to those of a sprinter. If he becomes physically stronger, Siraj will be able to easily reach the track and become one of the fastest sprinters.
Kohli playing Football
Virat Kohli, the Indian captain and one of the best batsmen in modern cricket, is also a good footballer. We’ve seen Kohli play football very well during the team’ s training sessions. His love of football is underscored by the fact that he is also a player with a stake in ISL club FC Goa. Considering the excellent level of fitness, we can be sure that Kohli will have a better future in football as well.
Rahul as a Boxer
India’s KL Rahul is a boxer with some unique qualities. The welterweight division is best suited for his boxing. Rahul has shown us strength, timing and reflexes in cricket. These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use. If he had not come to cricket, perhaps we would have seen Rahul in the fray.
