India's first victory in the World Cup has put cricket fans in an ebullient mood. With cricket fever soaring, TOI felt it was the best time to get our sexy ladies to hand-pick the cricketers who made their hearts skip a beat.
B-town actresses said that Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, New Zealander Daniel Vettori and Indian young gun Virat Kohli got the maximum votes.
Bipasha Basu picked MSD and English maverick batsman Kevin Pietersen. "They are talented, good-looking and have great personality," she says. Neha Dhupia puts Vettori and Virat in the race for the best-looking cricketer. "Vettori is handsome and a great player. Virat, apart from being great eye-candy, has a remarkable edge to his personality. Look what he did against Bangladesh," she tells us. Neha is also rooting for Sri Lankan southpaw Kumar Sangakkara. "I like his technique," she says.
Chitrangda Singh also has a weakness for Virat Kohli. "A genuine belief and confidence in himself is what makes Virat very attractive," she says, "The Saturday opening match at Mirpur had me glued to Virat's antics." Sandalwood actress Ragini Dwivedi says that Virat and Dhoni are hot because they're in super form and "can change the game at any time". Dhoni, adds Nidhi Subbaiah, is a hot fave because of his leadership skills. Sameera Reddy adds, "I love Zaheer's talent. He is aggressive and calm and that is very attractive."
Shilpa Shetty, who owns a cricket franchise, says her heart beats for Aussie Shane Watson. "He is too cute and he is one of the best all-rounders," she says. But Munni Malaika Arora-Khan says it is just MSD for her. "He's the one for me all the way," she says.
Mugdha Godse chooses the god of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, and Indian bowler Zaheer Khan, who is popular with the ladies. Mugdha says, "I'm all for Sachin because he is the best in what he does."
And quite a few southern belles agree with Mugdha where Sachin is concerned. Sandalwood actress Sharmila Mandre and Kollywood actress Preetika say they have been fans of the Master Blaster since they were in school. "Not only is he talented, but he has also conducted himself with so much dignity throughout his career. He has that aura about him that most cricketers today lack," she says. Preetika adds that Sachin is too "cute". "There are many hunks who come and go, but when you see Sachin come on the field, you can't help but smile," she says. Jennifer Kotwal sums it all up when she says, "An achiever like Sachin is always hot!"
