The Cricket World Cup is here, and cricket fans from all over the world have come to show their love for their favorite teams and players. One of the most famous YouTube personalities, IShowSpeed, known for his love for football star Cristiano Ronaldo and Indian cricket star Virat Kohli, recently visited India to witness the high-stakes match between India and Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
IShowSpeed, an 18-year-old social media sensation, was spotted exploring India, proudly sporting a Virat Kohli jersey. His presence in India created quite a buzz on social media, with numerous videos and pictures going viral. In these videos, Speed can be seen mingling with Indian cricket fans and even wearing Virat Kohli’s jersey and dhoti (traditional Indian clothing) at the Azad Maidan.
During his stay in India, Speed had some amusing encounters. In one of his livestreams, he examined Indian currency and humorously asked if Mahatma Gandhi was related to Virat Kohli. He also interacted with fans who approached his car, offering them money and taking pictures with them.

IShowSpeed love for Virat Kohli is no secret, as he often claims that the 34-year-old cricketer is the greatest of all time in cricket. He even playfully mocked Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam in an Instagram post, proclaiming, “Virat Kohli is the GOAT.” In a video, he showcased his bowling skills in a Mumbai crowd, wearing a dhoti. He didn’t stop at bowling; he also displayed his batting skills and celebrated with Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous “SIUU” move after hitting a shot.
IShowSpeed’s Quest to Meet Virat Kohli in India: A Dream Unfulfilled
During the India-Pakistan match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, IShowSpeed had the opportunity to meet Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). While he had dreamed of meeting his cricketing idol, Virat Kohli, the meeting didn’t come to fruition. Nonetheless, the 18-year-old had the chance to greet and interact with Jay Shah, making the day memorable.
After his Indian cricket adventure, IShowSpeed has left India without achieving his dream of meeting Virat Kohli. Fans are saddened by his unfulfilled wish, and they find it amusing how meeting “King Kohli” during the World Cup in India proved to be more challenging than meeting Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
IShowSpeed’s sojourn in India was marked by excitement, camaraderie, and a vibrant blend of cricket and entertainment. His interactions with fans, exploration of Indian culture, and quirky sense of humor added a unique and memorable dimension to the ongoing Cricket World Cup. While he may not have met his cricketing hero, his journey was undoubtedly a remarkable one.
Look at how the fans have reacted:
Meeting Ronaldo was easier for Speed then meeting Virat Kohli.
