‘Who’s Virat Kohli?': Ronaldo answers when quizzed over Indian cricket legend
Virat Kohli has entertained the global stage of cricket with an illustrious career spanning over 15 years where he won every possible trophy at the international level. While the entire world knows his accomplishments on the cricket field, it is hard to find anyone who has not noticed him. With 265 million followers on Instagram, he is one of the most popular sports athletes on the planet.
However, one football legend did not know about Virat when he was quizzed recently.
What was the incident?
Youtube influencer Darren Jason Watkins Jr, popularly known as Speed, recently caught up with Brazil football legend and 2002 FIFA World Cup winner Ronaldo Luís Nazári. In a video surfacing on the internet, Speed was seen asking Ronaldo about Virat Kohli to which he answered – “Who’s Virat Kohli?”
The answer left Speed stunned and he came up with Virat’s picture and showed it to Ronaldo upon which he recognised the Indian cricket legend.

Speed also had to mention about Virat’s accomplishments while comparing him to Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam, stating how better he is.
Virat has left no stone unturned during his illustrious career on the cricketing field.
Like Ronaldo, he too is considered a living legend in their respective sports.
Ronaldo’s best year came in 2002 when he won the Ballon d’Or coupled with a World Cup, while Virat’s best year came in 2011 when he won the ODI World Cup.
He came close to repeating that success in 2023 when hosts India reached the final of the ODI World Cup.
However, India lost that final against Australia in a one-sided contest.
But Kohli made sure he forged his legacy with an eye-catching performance. He scored 763 runs in 11 matches with nine 50-plus scores while also breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most ODI hundreds with 50.
He is currently second to Tendulkar (100) for most hundreds at the international level with 80.
Virat will be next in action on Sunday (Jan 14) when India take on Afghanistan in the second T20I in Indore. Virat will not play in the first T20I in Mohali due to personal reasons and will arrive directly in Indore for the second contest.
