There have been 16 seasons of Bigg Boss, and people adore it. Fans begin to anticipate this reality show as soon as the previous season concludes, which is possibly unique. It is the most popular reality programme on TV. Every year, it seems like the show’s popularity grows. Anyone who enters the Bigg Boss house, whether they are famous or not, gains popularity. On the show, the fans can observe the actors’ true personalities.
And each time, we’ve observed that they only have one cricketer in mind who could be a part of the show. In India, even cricket has a sizable fan base. We can identify a few cricket players who appear on the programme each year. The five cricketers who had entered the Bigg Boss house and clean-bowled everyone sprang to mind when we heard this. Take a peek at them now.
Cricketers in Bigg Boss:
1. Sreesanth
Sreesanth, a former cricketer and actor, was a member of the Indian teams that won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ICC World Cup in 2011, respectively. After the spot-fixing scandal in 2013, he was prohibited from playing in international cricket. As a result, during this time, he shifted his attention to acting and tried his luck on Bigg Boss. He competed in Bigg Boss 12 and finished second. He was regarded as the season’s strongest competitor, though. He gave up cricket and is now an actor. His most recent performance was in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kadhal, where he took home the prize for KempeGowda 2’s finest villain.
2. Andrew Symonds
Season 5 of Bigg Boss included Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, who passed away. He participated in the programme as a wild card contestant. He was a lot of fun to have around the house for the two weeks he was there. He interacted with Sunny Leone and proposed to Juhi Parmar using a well-known Hindi song in one of the episodes of the show.
3. Navjot Singh Sidhu
Navjot Singh Sidhu, a former cricketer, participated in Bigg Boss 6. He gained notoriety as “Sixer Sidhu” because of his six-hitting prowess. He performed well on stage and was a talented entertainer, but later he had to quit the production due to his political obligations.
4. Vinod Kambli
Vinod Kambli, a friend from Sachin’s youth, competed in Bigg Boss 3. He only stayed for 15 days and entered the competition as a wild card. He was really fun to watch. He was eliminated following the audience vote, hence he was unable to win the competition.
5. Salil Ankola
Salil Ankola, a former cricket player, spent a long period absent from the Indian cricket squad. Later, he made the decision to pursue acting. He appeared in the show’s debut season. He had to leave the programme nonetheless because of a Balaji Telefilms contract that prevented him from working for other ventures.
