Cricket and Bollywood are probably two of the most talked-about topics in India. The famous personalities from both the fraternities enjoy a huge fan base in the country. Needless to say that the Indian Premier League is considered to be the biggest cricketing carnival in the world and fans are absolutely crazy for the cash-rich league.
But how can we connect IPL to the film industry? Well, over the years, cricket and Bollywood have developed a special connection and it’s always fun to compare the celebrities from these two fields.
On that note, let’s take a look at the current IPL captains and their Bollywood equivalents.
ROHIT SHARMA – SALMAN KHAN
Rohit Sharma is the most successful captain in the history of the Indian Premier League. He has led the Mumbai Indians to not just one but five prestigious titles in the cash-rich league.
Just like Hitman, Salman Khan is also one of the biggest superstars in the Indian film industry. Salman’s success in Bollywood is second to none.
Both Salman and Rohit have a huge fan following across the world.
MS DHONI – SHAH RUKH KHAN
Apart from Rohit Sharma, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also rated as one of the best skippers in the Indian Premier League. Under his leadership, Chennai Super Kings have won three IPL titles so far (2010, 2011, and 2018).
