Numerous videos of Speed's Brazilian tour have circulated on social media. One particular video delighted Indian fans as Speed inquired of the Brazil legend, "Do you know Virat Kohli?" Initially responding with a 'No' or indicating a lack of understanding, Speed clarified, "He is a cricket player from India" and humorously added, "He is better than Babar Azam."
Ronaldo mentioned that Kohli might not be widely recognized in Brazil, but upon seeing Virat's picture, he confirmed, "Oh yes, definitely I know." The video has since gone viral, especially on X (formerly Twitter).
The 18-year-old YouTuber also made an appearance at Brazil's national football team's training, joining forces with football YouTuber Luva de Pedreiro.
