England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler on Monday had cricket fans from around the world in splits as he posted a picture of former England captain Nasser Hussain taking a walk in the streets, wearing just a towel. The picture was an instant hit on Twitter as fans came in hordes, expressing their disbelief with some even confusing the cricketer with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Buttler seemed to be in a playful mood captioning the picture, "Does anyone recognise this former England captain?" and tagging former England cricketers Ian Ward and David Lloyd in his post. It is uncertain whether this is an old or new picture.

While some fans on Twitter were left in stitches with the candid pic of Hussain, others thought he bore a lot of resemblance to Russian President Vladimir Putin. England are currently on a tour of New Zealand where they play five ODIs and two Tests against the hosts. The English were denied a win in the first ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton courtesy a century by Ross Taylor and a late cameo from Mitchell Santner that delivered a last-over victory to New Zealand.

In a match filled with twists and turns, the outcome hung in the balance until Santner smacked a six in the final over to get New Zealand home with four balls to spare.
