Virat Kohli pays tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo & extended support to Portugal’s star after his unceremonious exit from the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Morocco became the first African and Arab country to reach the tournament’s semi-finals with a 1-0 victory over Portugal on Saturday night.
Portuguese star faced criticism later his side’s dismal show in the knockout stage. Ronaldo couldn’t control his tears at the final whistle and left the ground as this was also his last World Cup.
Being an athlete and one of the main supporters of star footballer, Kohli must have felt the pressure Ronaldo was going through.
“No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you’ve done in this sport and for sports fans around the world,” wrote Kohli who left India’s all-formats captaincy following huge criticism on his leadership.
“No title can explain the impact you’ve had on people and what I and so many around the world feel when we watch you play. That’s a gift from god. A real blessing to a man who plays his heart out every single time and is the epitome of hard work and dedication and a true inspiration for any sportsperson. You are for me the greatest of all time,” added the star batter.
