There are many other actors who are huge fans of cricket.

Nana Patekar:

Had he had the ability to buy helmet and gloves, he would have become one of the most celebrated cricket figures of India instead of an actor. Nana Patekar, another famous Indian actor, is a “Die Hard” cricket fan. He wants the Indian cricket team to win every match and all the players perform their best. He also played many exhibition matches. The way he plays on the field would give one the feeling that he has the mind and the spirit of a true cricketer.

Anil Dhawan:

Brother of Bollywood’s famous director David Dhawan, Anil Dhawan, is very good in both acting and cricket. Now, he may be in his sixties but deep inside his heart he bears the sportsman’s spirit. An expert in different departments of cricket; batting, bowling, fielding, Anil Dhawan can teach a thing or two even to the most famous cricketers of today.

Naseeruddin Shah:

“Mera Baap Hindu, Mera Maa Christian or Main cocktail” this is the line I still remember from the movie Jalwa where Naseeruddin Shah played the character of a police officer, who avenges the death of his younger brother. Jalwa is one of my favorite movies. Naseeruddin Shah is the only actor who is successful in both commercial films and art films at the same time. Winner of Padma Bhushan Award, this Bollywood veteran is a cricket lover. He and other professional theatre and movie actors have a cricket team that practices regularly in the morning and very often play matches with other teams. At this old age, there energy and spirit would amaze many professional players who play for money not for the love of the game. Aside from playing cricket in real life, he also played the character of a washed out cricket player in Iqbal, a movie on cricket.

Jeetendra:

This Bollywood actor is popularly known as “Jumping Jack.” He is also famous for his white shoes. Jeetendra started his career in 1964, with V. Shantaram’s Geet Gaya Patharon Ne. Since then, Jeetendra has done more than 200 films. In 2004, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Like Dilip Kumar, Jeetendra is ready to give up anything to see important cricket matches.
