Celebrated Virat Kohli and his admiration for football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is nothing new. Kohli has time and again said he has looked up to Ronaldo and his work ethic, which has helped the Portuguese forward achieve tremendous success.
Meanwhile, Kohli’s work ethic and love for fitness have compelled the fans to draw comparisons between the two. Recently Punjab Kings cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa also called Virat Kohli the Cristiano Ronaldo of cricket.
In a video posted by RCB on YouTube, Virat Kohli was asked a few questions behind the scenes as he got ready for a photoshoot. One of the questions asked to Kohli was what he would do if he woke up as his favorite athlete Ronaldo one day.
The 33-year-old cricketer said:
“Cristiano Ronaldo! (when asked about his favourite athlete) I would do a scan of my brain [if he was Ronaldo] and see where all that mental strength comes from (smiles).”
