Renowned American YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr who is popular as IShowSpeed or just Speed is a massive fan of both cricket and football. Like the way he expresses his love for Cristiano Ronaldo, similarly, he shares a massive adulation for former Indian captain, Virat Kohli.

During an interaction with former AC Milan, Barcelona and Sweden football legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Speed introduced him to the Indian run-machine, Kohli. In a video that is now disseminating on the internet like wildfire, he was seen asking Ibrahimovic whether he was aware of Kohli.

The Swedish striker quite bluntly said no and this response galvanized the YouTuber into action which led to Speed showing the photo of Kohli to Ibra. After the picture being shown to him, Ibrahimovic still couldn’t recognize the Indian legend, adding that he has not seen cricket and hence without disrespecting Kohli, he had no clue who the latter was.

He’s a GOAT (greatest of all time). He’s the GOAT. Yes, I do (love cricket). He’s the GOAT in different aspect.

This is not the first time that Speed has tried to introduce Kohli to any footballer. In an earlier interaction with Brazilian sensational Ronaldo Nazario he asked him about Kohli. Despite not recognizing him by the first name, once Ronaldo was shown the snap of Kohli, he instantly realized who the cricketer that Speed was talking about was.
