3. Hard work off the field
This is my favourite similarity between the two icons. The two at the beginning of their careers never had the best natural ability to become the best. But both transformed themselves by putting immense hard work in their training and following a strict diet that made them the best. Ronaldo and Kohli both follow a very strict nutrition and exercise programme.
They make absolutely no sacrifices when it comes to training while preparing for the game. Both perform dynamic lifts in the gym that make them ready to perform at the best of their abilities. Over the years they have certainly proved that ‘Hard work beats Talent’ and when you put your mind into something you can achieve miraculous results.
