Kohli is Superman, says R Sridhar; MS Dhoni is Iron Man according to Sanjay Bangar
Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar and fielding coach R Sridhar took a rapid fire quiz and compared Indian cricketers to comic book superheroes. The video had some fun and interesting revelations as comparisons were made of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh.
Taking a break from the seriousness of coaching the Indian team ahead of the second T20I against England, batting coach Sanjay Bangar and fielding coach R Sridhar, decided to unwind by taking BCCI's rapid-fire quiz.
The rapid-fire did reveal a lot of unknown stuff about the two coaches, and it also had an interesting section where they were asked to compare present-day Indian cricketers to Marvel superheroes.
They started with Kohli, and just like the whole cricketing world, they called him Superman. However, when asked to liken MS Dhoni, they had different opinions. Sridhar thought of him more as Captain America, while Sanjay felt he was closer to Iron Man.
Given that R Ashwin is all about strategizing and analysing things, Sridhar thought that he was the perfect Iron Man while Bangar thought he should be Spiderman because he spins webs around the opposition batsmen.
Last up was the flamboyant all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Bangar felt he should be Hulk because the way he carries himself and the aura that he has about him, while according to Sridhar, Yuvraj was closest to Batman.
