In case you didn’t know…

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the biggest stars in the world of football right now. Both have won the annual football award, Ballon d’Or five times each, which is the joint-highest for any player. The Argentine stalwart recently won FIFA’s ‘The Best’ award, in which Ronaldo came third behind Messi and Liverpool’s defender Virgil Van Dijk.

The heart of the matter…

When asked about the comparison between the two football geniuses, Virat Kohli said that he prefers Ronaldo over Messi because of the effort the Portuguese star puts in his every game.

When asked to pick between Cristiano Ronaldo and the Brazilian Ronaldo, Kohli admitted that it’s tough to pick between the two.

Virat Kohli has been vocal about his love for football and how it helps in bringing discipline in his life. He is also associated with Indian Super League’s franchise FC Goa. He believes football is going to take a big chunk of his time after he retires as a professional cricketer because he wants to promote the sport in the country.

What’s next?

Virat Kohli is set to lead team India in the 3-match Test series against South Africa which is scheduled to start from October 2 in Vishakapatnam.
