Are you one of those who had sleepless nights over Portugal’s ace striker Cristiano Ronaldo? (be it for his amazing shoots or that 1,000 watt smile). Well, you’re not alone. I am guilty of following football only when he is on air, playing.
That is why I had to share this pleasant discovery with fellow fan boys and girls. Our very own desi Cristiano Ronaldo!
Surfing through Instagram, I stumbled across another footballer who had an uncanny resemblance to the Real Madrid striker.
Don’t believe me? Here’s a sample.
Meet Sanjeev Stalin, 16, who plays for the Indian football team U-17. Unlike Ronaldo, Stalin is a defender. And a damn good one at that.
You think it’s a stretch to see a ‘jhalak’ of Cristiano in him? How about this one?
Or This.
Cuh-mon! You can’t possibly fail to notice that the 'Oh-So-Ronaldo’ like twinkle in his eyes when he smiles at the camera.
Look alike or not, Sanjeev’s passion for the sport isn’t any less than Ronaldo!
Do you think Indian footballer Sanjeev Stalin looks like a young version of Cristiano Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments!
