Hours after Cristiano Ronaldo’s emotional Instagram post following Portugal’s exit from the FIFA World Cup, former India cricket captain Virat Kohli – who is a big admirer of the football icon – hailed CR7. Kohli reckoned no trophy will or title can take away anything that he has done for the game and for the fans across the world. Calling his the greatest of all time, Kohli reckoned he has inspired millions.

“No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you’ve done in this sport and for sports fans around the world. 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,” Kohli wrote on Instagram.
