ICC posted the images on its website to compare Soumya Sarkar's celebration style to Cristiano Ronaldo

Soumya Sarkar who took three wickets for Bangladesh in their World Cup clash against Australia at Trent Bridge on Thursday, celebrated in Cristiano Ronaldo style after he dismissed Aaron Finch in the 21st over. The International Cricket Council (ICC) equated Soumya Sarkar to Ronaldo with similar image of the two and asked fans, 'Separated by birth', report agencies.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has been an inspiration to many sports personalities.

Soumya Sarkar's celebration was however no where near to the leap, height and posture that Cristiano Ronaldo creates while pulling off his original style. But despite that, the ICC compared Sarkar to Ronaldo with distinct images.

However, the comparison did not go down well with Ronaldo fans as they were not impressed. While some fans also wanted to meet the admin in person and advised him to promptly delete the tweet. Many fans felt the comparison was a bit too much.
