Ishant Sharma and Bryan Ruiz

Ishant Sharma, the most ridiculed bowler of recent times has a ‘twin brother’ in Costa Rican football captain Bryan Ruiz.

The lanky right arm fast-medium bowler Ishant Sharma, the most ridiculed bowler of recent times has a ‘twin brother’ in Costa Rican football captain Bryan Ruiz — a predominantly left-footed player who scored the famous goal against Italy in FIFA World Cup 2014. Both Ishant Sharma and his doppelganger Bryan Ruiz have average records in their respective sports. Sharma has taken 178 wickets in 58 tests for India and Bryan Ruiz has scored 16 goals in 69 matches for his national team.

Wonder what would Ruiz feel when he realises that his Indian brother, separated at birth, often goes through harrowing times with the fans!
