10 Cricketers who played another innings as musicians

Cricketers are fun characters wherever they go. It is not a rare sight to see the players dance to the beats of music or perhaps even be creating one on various occasions. Some cricketers have their unique celebratory moves on the field as well. While this is restricted to some players on the field, others take it to a whole new level.

Cricketers can indeed be the all-rounders to impress their fans. We have recently scene videos of Virat Kohli singing at a function and Shane Watson creating his own covers for some popular tracks. You will be surprised to know that the world of cricket boasts of players who have actually tried their hands as popular musicians and professional singers.

From being a part of a band to being the playback singers for the movies, the cricketers have done it all. Here is a list of such 10 cricketers who are great singers and have mesmerized with their vocal charm:

1. Brett Lee:

The former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was undoubtedly the poster boy of the last decade. Lee had the looks of a movie star and certainly gave the film stars a run for their money. Lee was the protagonist in a movie named ‘Unindian’.

Talking about his singing skills, one can never forget his collaboration with Indian singer Asha Bhosle. He sang the duet titled “You‘re the one for me”. He even sang a couple of lines in Hindi and definitely wooed a lot of female fans in India.

Prior to this, he was a part of a band named ‘Six and Out’ along with his brother Shane Lee and former cricketers Richard Quee, Brad McNamara and Gavin Robertson. Their song, based on the Scott Muller incident of 1999, became an instant hit and was titled “Can’t bowl, Can’t Throw”. He was the bass guitarist for the band and his brother, Shane, was the pianist.
