Ronaldo won the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Brazil.
Infamously, some years back Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova had said that she didn't know who Sachin Tendulkar was. Even though social media was still in its initial stage of absolute dominance, hashtag slamming Sharapova trended on social media.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, didn’t recall Virat Kohli when Speed said his name, but things changed when he was shown a photo of the Indian batting legend.
Here's how the conversation went about Kohli between Speed and Ronaldo:
Speed: "Do you know Virat Kohli?" Speed asked.
Ronaldo: "Who?"
Speed: “Virat Kohli, from India.”
Ronaldo: “No.”
Speed: "You don't know Virat Kohli!”
Ronaldo: “What is he? A player?”
Speed: “He is a cricket player.”
Ronaldo: "He is not very popular in here."
Speed: “Yeah, yeah. he is like the best. You have never seen this dude?” (pointing to Kohli's photo)
Ronaldo: “Yeah Yeah”
Here is the video:
Virat Kohli will be seen in action in the 2nd and 3rd T20Is against Afghanistan.
