Mahabharata Characters in Modern Indian Cricket Team

 

Vinod Kambli as Ashwathama:

The Mahabharatha describes Ashwathama as having dark skin, dark eyes, and with a gem in his forehead and a master of sciences. Even though Ashwathama was highly talented, he was never recognised as a good man thanks to his deeds and his siding with the Kauravas.

Similarly, Vinod Kambli as a youngster was supremely talented and shared the spotlight alongside Sachin Tendulkar. However, Kambli got caught in the wrong path as he took to drinking, girls and parties and spoiled his cricket career.

 

Ashish Nehra as Parasurama: ­­­

­

 

Lord Parasumara is an immortal. He played an important role in Mahabharata as he trained all of Bhishma, Drona and Karna.

Ashish Nehra is a bowler, who is closest to being immortal in the Indian line-up. Everytime Nehra got injured, he has come back stronger. He also has the distinction of handing over ‘Man of the Match’ award to Virat Kohli during his schooling time and then going on to play under Kohli’s captaincy years later. Currently, he is not only the pace spearhead of India, but is also grooming young fast bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron.
