Speed tells Zlatan about Virat
In a video that is now going viral all over the internet at a rapid pace, Speed can be seen asking the former AC Milan player if he knows Virat Kohli. He said, "Do you know Virat Kohli?" However, the football icon admitted that he had not heard about Virat before. After which, Speed showed him a picture of Kohli but that didn't help the famous striker either in recognising the cricket icon. Speed was shocked by this and asked him "You don’t know Virat Kohli? You never seen him before?"
Zlatan was humble in his response and said he is not seen cricket ever. He said, “I have never seen cricket in my life. Not being disrespectful, but no”. After this Speed started praising Kohli and called him the GOAT of cricket. Zlatan also got curious after seeing Speed's interest and asked him if he likes cricket too.
However, this is not the first time, Speed has introduced Virat Kohli to a football legend. During one of his interactions with Brazil's Ronaldo Nazario, the influencer asked the same question to the striker. Ronaldo after watching Virat's picture instantly recognised him.
