In the realm of cricket, Virat Kohli is a well-known figure. In the extensive 25-year history of the search engine giant ‘Google,’ Kohli emerged as the top-searched cricketer when the list of most searched topics was revealed.
Throughout Google’s existence, the sporting universe has featured some of the finest cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and more. However, Virat Kohli stands out as the ‘most searched cricketer’ in the history of Google.
While Virat Kohli claimed the title of the ‘most searched cricketer’ on Google’s list of most searched topics over its 25-year history, when it came to the most searched athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary footballer from Real Madrid and Manchester United, took the top spot. Ronaldo, now 38, currently playing for the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo triumphed over some of the most significant players in football, particularly his longtime rival Lionel Messi. The duo is widely considered as the finest players of their generation, exerting dominance in the sport for around 15 years.

Interestingly, Kohli has expressed greater admiration for Ronaldo over Messi in several interviews, emphasizing his fondness for the Portuguese footballer.
“No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you’ve done in this sport and for sports fans around the world,” Kohli expressed his support for Ronaldo on Instagram when the Portuguese footballer’s team was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup 2022.
“No title can explain the impact you’ve had on people and what I and so many around the world feel when we watch you play. That’s a gift from god. A real blessing to a man who plays his heart out every single time and is the epitome of hard work and dedication and a true inspiration for any sportsperson.”
“You are for me the greatest of all time,” the post further read.
