Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, has several cricketing records and is now regarded as one of the finest players in the world. Kohli is a wildly popular personality both on and off the field, with a fan base that few athletes can match. The flamboyant batsman, who is known for his on-field aggressiveness, became the first Indian cricketer to achieve 150 million Instagram followers on Friday. He's also the first Indian celebrity to reach this milestone, making him the country's most popular person on the photo and video sharing platform.
However, when it comes to global appeal, Kohli is ranked at the fourth spot in the sporting world behind the likes of Portuguese great Cristiano Ronaldo, Argentina forward Lionel Messi and Brazilian striker Neymar jr.
Ronaldo, who is set to start his second stint with Premier League giants Manchester United, is the undisputed king of Instagram with over 337 million followers. With 260 million followers, Barcelona's new superstar Messi is ranked second on the list. Neymar, the flamboyant PSG striker, has 160 million Instagram followers.
