King Kohli, 33, is the greatest active batter across formats and owns several batting records. For the uninitiated, Virat Kohli is the leading active run-getter, has the 2nd highest number of international 100s (only behind Tendulkar), and is the sole player to have won the T20WC Man of Tournament award twice.

However, his greatness on the field reeks in other arenas as well: Kohli is paid the highest amongst all cricketers for brand endorsements and moreover, is the most followed Indian on Instagram with 215 million followers. 

Indian celebs aside, even some huge global sportspersons are amongst those who follow Virat Kohli on Instagram.

Hereon, we look at 7 such World Famous sportspersons who follow Kohli on Instagram.

Massive Sportsmen following Virat Kohli on IG

 

1. Roger Federer (Swiss Tennis Player)

Roger Federer –if not the greatest– is one of the greatest Tennis players of all time. Federer retired last month with 20 Grand Slams to his name, upon which he was congratulated by many across the globe including Kohli.

Interestingly, the 41-year-old tennis tycoon happens to follow Virat Kohli on Instagram and even thanked him in one of his recent IG story.

Federer himself has 10.8 mil followers on the platform.

2. Sergio Ramos (Spanish Footballer)

The most polarizing defender in recent times, this 36-year-old defender from Spain seems to be aware of Kohli’s heroic and follows him on Instagram.

Though Ramos’ fame was at its peak when he was the captain of La Liga football club Real Madrid– a club with whom he lifted the UCL four times, his status as the best leg-breaking footballer isn’t ever gonna change. 

Sergio also won FIFA World Cup for Spain in 2010.

3. Novak Djokovic (Serbian Tennis Player)

Serbian Tennis legend, Novak Djokovic is expected to end up with record Grand Slams to his name.

The 35-year-old follows Delhi-born Virat Kohli on Instagram and himself has 11.5 million followers on IG.

Djokovic holds the record for the most number of days (373 weeks) spent as the top-ranked Tennis player and believe me, it is No Djok.

4. Marcelo Vieira (Brazilian Footballer)

Marcelo Vieira, interestingly, was an important part of Madrid’s golden period much like Ramos, and is another baller acknowledging Kohli.

The Brazilian left-back only recently bid an emotional goodbye to the Madridistas. Nonetheless, his legacy at the club remains unparalleled with 6 La Liga and 5 UEFA Champions League titles a part of his accolades.

5. Harry Kane (English Footballer)

Kane is the only famous sportsperson who has been public about his love for cricket.

The striker from England was recently seen at the Hundred 2022 during a game between Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler and follows Virat Kohli on Twitter while himself having a 1.3 crore IG family.

Harry is one of the best Premier League attackers of all time, having won the EPL Golden Boot 3 times.

6. Daniel Ricciardo (Australian F1 Racer)

The only non-footballer non-tennis sportsperson who opens his Instagram and upon hovering to Kohli’s account sees a white button with the following written over it is 33-year-old Italian-Australian Formulae 1 racer Daniel Ricciardo.

Daniel currently drives for McLaren at the F1 Championships and has won 8 F1 races in his career.

7. Thomas Muller (German Footballer)

Bayern Munich and Germany midfield maestro, Thomas Muller is another notable player from the football world who follows Virat Kohli on Instagram.

Muller (33), hailed as the greatest mid-fielder of the last 2-3 decades has 1 FIFA WC and 11 Bundesliga titles to his name. 

IG game concerned, Thomas has 11.4 million followers. Regardless, the numbers do not matter when you have even half the talent of Thomas freakin’ Muller.
