Virat is known to be an admirer of Ronaldo. He even posted a heartfelt message on Instagram after Portugal were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco. 

"No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you’ve done in this sport and for sports fans around the world. 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. 🐐👑 @cristiano," he wrote.
