Cricket is one of the most followed sports in the world. In India alone, the sport has a billion fans. The sport is like a religion in our country and as per a majority of the cricket universe, Sachin Tendulkar is the God of every cricket follower. There have been many magical incidents on the cricket field, including that of two generations playing at the same time together.
Such a scenario is never possible in a sport like football because unlike cricket, footballers do not play till the age of 40-45. Cricket has a unique place in the world of sports and owing to that different position, we have been able to witness five father-son duos play together on the cricket field.
Here’s a look at the top five pairs of father and son who made their teams proud by playing in the same unit.
5.Denis Streak and Heath Streak
A majority of the 90s cricket fans would know about Heath Streak because the fast bowler was one of the vital cogs of the Zimbabwean bowling attack. But, what many fans would not know is that Heath’s father Denis Streak inspired him to take up this sport.
Denis Streak was one of the best players of Zimbabwe when the African nation was just finding its feet in international cricket. Denis played extremely well for the country, which is why, in a match against Mashonaland Country Districts, the Matabeleland selectors allowed him to include his son, Heath Streak in the Lonrho Logan Cup match.
