Indian cricketing sensation Virat Kohli has thanked Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for being the inspiration to not only him but million others in various walks of life.

Kohli, claiming to be the biggest fan of Cristiano in his Herbalife ad shoot, revealed that he used to support Manchester United when the Portuguese was with the Old Trafford club, but now his allegiance has shifted to Spanish giants Real Madrid following the big money move of the football player in 2009.

Kohli also adds how he admires the 29-year-old’s passion and aggression on the field and how Cristiano has inspired him to be the best cricketer in the world.

Cristiano responded to the Indian cricketer on Twitter, thanking him for his kind words, while also advertising for the Herbalife brand.

@Cristiano Thanks for the tweet . You are an absolute legend.
