Sehwag and Tendulkar

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=139975]The_Odd_One[/MENTION] Sehwag n Sachin did look a lot like each other in Sehwags early days. Sehwag modelled his look and his technique on Sachin early on.

i remember in WC 2003 both looked like twins to me.

but eventually sehwag developed his own technique. Stayed to the leg side of the ball and just hit through the line.

Sachin had a much more classical orthodox technique.

 

[PakLFC]

All batsmen with high back lifts are similar. For example Graham Gooch and Kevin Pietersen.

 

[hassammasood]

I always thought Dravid and Yousuf had a similar technique. Since I am no expert, would love to hear from someone on this.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Lara, Vinod Kambli

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Don think so
Though from the little i saw i think Usman Salahuddin has similar style to Yousuf.

 

[TQ89]

Graham gooch and aamer sohail have got to be up there. They are so identical and also have identical style in some shots they played especially pull shot.

Sachin and sehwag were almost twins till 2005. Afterwards he got a little bulky and changed his stance so you could identify him easily but before that i would regularly mistake a shot by sehwag as shot played by sachin and vice versa.

 

[KhalidRafi]

Tom Westley and Quinton de Kock

Noticed it the other day...

Think Umar was always a slogger?

 

[Abdullah719]

Think Umar was always a slogger?

He has developed into a slogger more recently.

Used to play lofted shots earlier but was a better batsman.

Mainly referring to their stance at the crease - Babar reminded me of U Akmal when he I saw him bat for the first time.
