'Is that Vladimir Putin?' asks Twitter as Jos Buttler clicks former England cricketer Nasser Hussain in towel

Nasser Hussain or Vladimir Putin?

The former cricketer may not have much in common with Russian leader (other than a bald head and some super abs), but Twitter was finding it hard to distinguish between the two after England's Jos Buttler posted a picture of the former English skipper. 

Buttler posted the former cricketer's photo where the 49-year-old could be seen walking in the streets draped in just a towel. Twitter was immediately reminded of the Russian leader who loves posing bare chested.  

The English wicketkeeper, Buttler shared the picture tagging two former cricketers of England Ian Ward and David Lloyd, as he tweeted, "Does anyone recognize this former England captain?"

Cricket pundit Alan Wilkins was one of the first to ask the obvious question, "Isn’t that Vladimir Putin?"
