At first sight it would be difficult to make out whether it is a painting or a photograph.
Indian bowler Ravichandran Ashwin is admired by millions of cricket fans in the country for his skill and dedication towards the game. Recently, he crossed the landmark of 450 Test wickets in the last match against Australia and became only the second Indian bowler in history to take 100 wickets in Test matches against Australia.
Recently, a fan of the legendary cricketer made a portrait for the cricketer and the resemblance is uncanny. It looks like someone has clicked the picture of the cricketer. At first glance it would be extremely difficult to make out whether it is a painting or a photograph. Mr. Ashwin is seen standing against a black background wearing a blue Indian jersey with a ball in his hand. The bowler’s hand-drawn drawing has left the internet awestruck by the fan’s ingenuity. The realistic aspect of the painting is what sets it apart from the rest.
The post was shared by WG RumblePants on Twitter. He wrote in the caption, “It’s been a challenging painting, but I’m glad to have finished it today, when @ashwinravi99 has already taken two brilliant wickets. I don’t think it’s realistic to expect him to see this.” , But it will.” Be cute if he does on some level, so any retweets are very gratefully received.”
