5) Nature
While we all know about Kohli’s aggressive nature, he is someone who doesn’t hold back from expressing himself. The Indian is a person who wears his heart on his sleeve and plays the game with immense passion. He backs his no-nonsense attitude with stellar on-field performances and in this aspect he can be compared with the charismatic Portuguese.
Ronaldo also doesn’t hold back from expressing his thoughts, and his passion for the game is unquestionable. Their fans love their ostentatious nature and the stars keep the faith by churning out exemplary performances one after the another. So an aggressive Virat Kohli and an expressive Cristiano Ronaldo nature-wise have lots of similarities nature-wise.
On the other hand, the South African De Villiers is someone who doesn’t like to express much and does his job in a quiet manner. He is someone who prefers to keep a low profile but with his unbelievable talent he has won the hearts of millions.
Messi, too, isn’t known to show emotions, and he has a calm demeanour which is adored by fans all over the world. AB and Messi both are exceptional performers and they are revered for their attitude too.
All these four guys are tremendous athletes and their passion for winning is remarkable. But nature-wise too the four have something in common.
