Virat Kohli is an avid football fan. He likes Real Madrid. He has favourite players from the sport and you can find a number of them following him on Instagram. But which footballer is the most followed by Kohli? We’ll explore some of the top stars in this article. Also, learn about the most popular sportspersons in Asia. For the time being, Virat Kohli is following Real Madrid, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi is the most followed athlete in the world
Football superstar Lionel Messi has reached a new milestone of 300 million followers on Instagram. His followers have grown every day, and it’s easy to see why. He has produced mind-blowing statistics during his career. The former Barcelona forward has scored more goals than anyone in LaLiga, and has more followers on Instagram than anyone else. His impressive stats also make him an influential influence on billions of people. Recently, he transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, which increased his Instagram followers by nearly 40 million.
Another athlete with a huge following on the social network is footballer Virat Kohli, who has more than 173 million followers. Like Messi, he has embraced social media and continues to post photos to engage with his fans. Meanwhile, seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi posts daily updates to his Instagram account. While Messi may not have the biggest following, he is far ahead of his closest rival Cristiano Ronaldo, with more than four hundred million followers.
Another famous sportsperson is Brazilian soccer player Neymar, who has over 100 million followers on Instagram. The football star has made himself one of the world’s most marketable athletes. While his fame comes from playing soccer, he also has other lucrative interests. He has sold his products and engages in other industries. The Brazilian has a loyal following on Instagram and has more than 100 million followers on his profile.
Messi’s followers are a testament to his popularity and his talent. His Paris Saint-Germain teammates have praised him for his talent and creativity. Messi is also a social media personality with over 361 million Instagram followers. Messi’s fan base is enormous, and his passion for the sport shows. Thousands of sports stars share their lives on Instagram, allowing them to reach their largest audience possible.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed Asian sportsperson on Instagram
The king of football has more Instagram followers than Instagram itself, and that is a testament to his popularity. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed Asian footballer, with more than 400 million followers. It’s not surprising that Cristiano is a top celebrity – he’s won five Ballon d’Or awards, four Champions Leagues, two La Ligas, and three Premier Leagues.
In addition to being the most popular athlete on Instagram, Cristiano is married to Georgina Rodriguez, the wife of a soccer player. He regularly shares snaps of their family life, as well as pictures and videos from his training sessions. If all footballers on Instagram had this many followers, Portugal would be the third-most-populated nation in the world. Kylie Jenner is the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister, who shot to fame with her appearance on the reality TV show, The Kardashians.
The king of Instagram has reached 330 million followers and charges more than Rs 11 crore per sponsored post. Dwayne “Rock” Johnson, who was the highest-paid Instagram celebrity, is now second. While the star is a popular athlete, his popularity has also made him one of the most expensive influencers. With more than 300 million followers on Instagram, Cristiano is arguably the world’s most popular footballer.
Aside from being the most popular individual on Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo is also the most followed athlete on Instagram. He has more followers than many countries. He is the most followed sportsman after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Those are just a few of the many celebrities and athletes who have made their Instagram accounts popular. But don’t let their fame fool you. They aren’t the most popular athletes on the planet.
Rohit Sharma
While the two Indian batsmen share a close bond on the field, they do not follow each other on social media. But that doesn’t mean they do not share an affinity off the field. They are both in the midst of a great alliance as both have taken Indian cricket to new heights. Currently, both are leading their respective franchises in the eleventh season of the Indian Premier League. Tomorrow, they will go head-to-head in the 31st match of the league.
While Kohli doesn’t seem to be following Rohit on Instagram, the Indian captain does have an affinity for Sharma’s work. Kohli recently liked a post by Rohit on Twitter referring to the former teammate. Rohit followed Kohli on Instagram for some time now. After India lost the ICC World Cup to New Zealand, rumors about rifts between the two players surfaced. But Rohit Sharma’s love affair with Kohli’s partner, KL Rahul, is still strong.
But it is not all bad news. Earlier, Rohit Sharma had a rift with Anushka Sharma. While Kohli’s wife had been involved in a tiff during India’s tour of England, Rohit Sharma was not. However, the photo of Anushka in the first row of the cricket team had received mixed reviews and critics. Rohit’s recent tweet about a mystic twittling left many fans puzzled.
While Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma is not following Kohli on Instagram, Rohit follows her. It is not clear if they are still dating, but they seem to be good buddies. The former has more Instagram fans than his wife Anushka Sharma. In fact, he also follows Ritika Sajdeh’s wife, Ritika. The CoA has said that the issue will not be addressed unless the players’ input is sought.
Suresh Raina
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has recently joined the popular social media app MX Takatak. The app has gained tremendous popularity in recent years, and is now the official short video partner of seven teams in the IPL 2021. Suresh Raina’s followers have reportedly been captivated by the posts made by their favorite cricketer. So, why is Suresh Raina following Virat Kohli on Instagram?
After all, the senior opener has a massive fan base and is one of the most popular players in the shortest format of the game. However, fans of the former India captain may not be so excited to see that he follows the legendary cricketer on Instagram. The senior opener has almost 19 million followers, which is a lot of money for a cricketer. The following of Suresh Raina on Instagram is just one more reason why the senior cricketer is so popular.
According to Twitter and Facebook, the Indian captain is the most followed sportsperson on the site. In addition to his 102 million followers, he’s now the third-most followed athlete on Instagram after Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dwayne Johnson. He’s the third most popular sportsperson on the app behind Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who each have over three hundred million followers.
Aside from his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar is also following Virat Kohli on Instagram. The Indian cricketer has nearly 30 million followers on Instagram, as well as a garage filled with fancy sports vehicles. The Indian cricketer is the face of several brands and has started promoting social welfare campaigns. After all, it is hard to not be a fan of Sachin! And who can blame him?
Hardik Pandya
Indian T20 sensation, Hardik Pandya, is one of the most popular cricketers on Instagram. He has over 18 million followers. The all-rounder, who is playing for Mumbai Indians, has become a fashion icon thanks to his flashy outfits and bling. While Kohli is a cricket icon and has a lot of followers, Pandya has made a name for himself through his Instagram account.
The young cricketer has recently announced his engagement to actress Natasa Stankovic. The wedding is scheduled for January 2020. Kohli has congratulated his future bride-to-be in a series of posts. He has been following Pandya on Instagram for two years and he even leads the way with his wishes. Hardik Pandya’s Instagram account also features posts by his teammates, including KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Kuldeep Yadav.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is another popular Indian cricketer. He captained the Indian team in Test cricket from 2007 to 2014. His Instagram account has almost 34.5 million followers, making him the second most followed cricketer on the social media site. His close friend and fellow cricketer Hardik Pandya has over 19 million followers on Instagram. Combined, the two cricketers are considered the most popular.
India have been chasing a target to win the World Cup but they have been unable to get there. They have a 2-1 series lead against England, but they lost the 5th T20I after a Covid outbreak in their visiting camp. India will host South Africa for five Twenty20 Internationals from June 9-19. The players will have some time off after the IPL 2022.
