Former India captain Virat Kohli is a much-admired figure all around the world. He attracts fans wherever he plays for Team India. However, Swedish football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic failed to recognize the Indian cricket legend, in a video posted by iShowSpeed leaving the popular YouTuber in shock.
The YouTuber, later, enlightened Ibrahimovic about Kohli by showing his pictures. To which, the football legend responded by saying that he hardly follows the sport and it is an understood fact since cricket is not a much-followed sport in Sweden.
“No. I’ve never seen cricket in my life. Not being disrespectful, but no,” said Ibrahimovic, when Speed showed him Kohli’s picture.
“Is he some kind of big player?” asked Ibrahimovic.
“He’s the GOAT,” replies Speed. “He is the GOAT in a different aspect, man. You’ve got to learn the different GOATs in different aspects,” continued the 19-year-old YouTube sensation.
