South African fast bowler Dale Steyn (L) is unarguably the best fast bowler in the world. One of the all time-greats, Steyn made his Test debut in 2004 and One-Day International (ODI) debut in 2005. Since then, barring a few early hiccups, he has been the mainstay of South African bowling and leads their attack in all forms of the game.

 

Steyn is already a South African legend and is destined to break all the existing bowling records of the rainbow nation. He is the fastest South African to 100 Test wickets. The same year, he was also named the ICC Test player of the year. His stature in international cricket is growing with every season. Besides being an icon at the international level, Steyn is a huge hit in the Indian Premier League as well, where he is currently associated with the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise.

 

His doppelganger on the right is Ben Daniels, a celebrated English writer. Daniels has worked in around 15 films and a host of television serials. Daniels has been nominated for the best actor at the ‘Evening Standard Awards’ for best supporting actor in the Laurence Olivier Awards for Never the Sinner (1991), 900 Oneonta (1994), Best Actor in the M.E.N and Theatre Awards for Martin Yesterday (1998). He won the Olivier award in 2001 for his performance in the Arthur Miller play All My Sons. Quiet yet disruptive as a child, Daniels revealed he’s a gay and lives in with actor Ian Gelder.
