New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS)<\/strong> It’s no secret that Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli is a great football fan. Time and again, he has been seen talking about football and how he loves the game, apart from cricket where he excels.<\/p>\n Kohli is a big source of inspiration for many, not only in India but across the world for his athleticism and the passion with which he plays the game of cricket.<\/p>\n However, star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is among many sports personalities from whom the India captain draws inspiration.<\/p>\n In an interview with FIFA.com, Kohli revealed Ronaldo is his all-time favourite footballer.<\/p>\n “For me, Cristiano is above everyone else. His commitment and work ethic is unmatched. He wants it that bad — you can see it every game (sic.),” said Kohli.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old further said that for him, Ronaldo has had a better career than Argentine great Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n “In my opinion he (Ronaldo) has taken on more challenges and succeeded at all of them. He’s the most complete player. I have seen and his work ethic, as I mentioned, is unmatched. He inspires people. I don’t think many people do that. He’s also a leader and I love that. Absolutely love it. He has amazing belief too,” said Kohli.<\/p>\n Kohli, who was placed on seventh on ESPN’s World Fame 100 this year, believes Mbappe will take over as the best footballer in the years to come.<\/p>\n “Mbappe stands out for me. His sprint in the 2018 World Cup against Argentina is hard to forget. He’s a beast and he will definitely be at the top of the pile for me. (He is) Absolutely a top-class player,” Kohli said.<\/p>\n Kohli is currently in the US where India will be playing two of its three T20Is against the West Indies starting Saturday.<\/p>\n –IANS New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS) It’s no secret that Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli is a great football fan.
