Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli, already a Guinness World Record holder for his sporting prowess, is now setting his sights on the social media realm, aiming to challenge the dominance of football icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Kohli currently boasts a massive following of 65.4 million on X (formerly Twitter), placing him within striking distance of Ronaldo’s record of 113.4 million followers. On Instagram, Kohli holds a staggering 270 million followers, but Ronaldo’s impressive 621.9 million puts him far ahead.
While Kohli’s most-liked Instagram post, celebrating India’s T20 World Cup victory, has garnered over 21 million likes, he still trails Messi’s record of 75.4 million likes for a single post.
With his growing global appeal, Kohli is determined to break these social media records and solidify his status as one of the most popular athletes on the planet.
However, surpassing Ronaldo and Messi, who hold immense international fame, will require a significant boost in Kohli’s global recognition. Whether he can achieve this ambitious goal remains to be seen, but his relentless pursuit of excellence suggests he will not back down from the challenge.
