The Tamil twitterati have always been game for some cricket-Kollywood crossover and today was one such eventful time for them when cricketer Ashwin jokingly declared that Bullet Pandi from Kovil aka the character Vadivelu played in the Simbu-Hari movie is one of his favourite players from 'other sports'. He also recommended Bullet Pandi to the ICC board as someone who he thinks would be good at cricket.

Tamil folks needed no excuse to join in on the fun and they started adding recommendations of their own, all of which are fictional characters who played sports-based roles in Tamil films.
