Cricket is the most celebrated sport in India. Fans outpour their love on cricketers irrespective of their nationality. The Indian T20 league brings many foreign cricketers to India every year. These cricketers not only get a chance to play in the cricket-crazy country but also get to know its culture closely.
Some cricketers get so fond of its culture that they start adapting to it. With the amount of love cricketers receive in India, they can’t help but accept it as their second home. On that note, let’s take a look at five foreign cricketers who’ve found their second home in India:

De Villiers is one of the most loved foreign cricketers in India. The Indian crowd loves him so much that they were found chanting his name during an India vs South Africa ODI match in 2015. The cricketer shares a great bonding with the Indian batter Virat Kohli.
He even gave his cricketing gear for auction to help the underprivileged during the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The former South African captain has recently joined hands with an NGO to support impoverished children in India. Despite him not playing in the Indian T20 League this year, De Villiers was missed by his Bangalore franchise fans as they brought placards of his name to the stadium.
