In cricket, we often see that some players are called by some other name by their teammates on and off the field. There are many interesting stories behind this. There are many such stories and incidents due to which these players are called by different names.

Sometimes they get this name as per their wish and sometimes they get the nickname even against their wishes. For example, Rahul Dravid may be known as 'The Wall' and 'Mr. Dependable' in the cricket world, but his teammates named him Jamie. Actually, Dravid had advertised a jam and after that his fellow players named him Jamie. So today let us tell you about the nicknames of 3 such players and the interesting story behind them.

Nick names of 3 players of Indian team and the interesting story behind them

1.Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has proved himself in every format of cricket. This great player of Team India is called Chiku by his teammates. The story behind this name is as interesting as the name itself. Actually, this name was given to Virat Kohli during the Ranji match between Delhi and Mumbai.

In those days, Virat Kohli had just started playing and as always, at that time too he was as aggressive and excited. But there was another reason for his excitement that day and that was his new hairstyle. After the new haircut, when Virat entered the field with spiked hair, long ears and a full face, to coach Ajit Chaudhary he looked like a cheeky rabbit from the Champak comic. Due to this, Ajit called Virat by this name and from then on his name became Chiku.

2.Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is one of those Indian players who, when he is in form, destroys half the courage of his opponents. He is such a star of the Indian team who hits sixes of the opposing team with his powerful and aggressive batting. People also know Rohit Sharma as Hitman.

After scoring his second double century against Australia in 2013, Rohit received a lot of applause and praise, along with this he also got a new name and that was Hitman. Now most of the sports lovers know Rohit by this name.

3.Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan is one of those players of the Indian team who is not only known for his game but is also famous for his style. His mustache has become a style statement. Shikhar is called Gabbar by his fellow players and the story of this name is very interesting.

You must remember Gabbar from Sholay. In fact, when Dhawan used to play domestic matches, he used to use Gabbar's dialogues to boost the morale of his team while fielding and gradually this became his habit and due to this he was named Gabbar. Some of Dhawan's friends also call him Jat ji.
