‘The Most Anticipated Podcast’: Fan Uses AI To Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo X Virat Kohli

What if Cristiano Ronaldo and Virat Kohli sat together to discuss their legendary careers? There is no guessing that the podcast will break the internet. Sports enthusiasts have been manifesting something like this since Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel, “UR Cristiano” last month. Recently, a fan imagined the much-awaited podcast episode with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

The editor also added some fun elements to the video and it didn’t take much time to go viral. The AI-created footage was dropped on X (formerly Twitter) with the title– “Virat Kohli X CR7. The most anticipated podcast has been leaked.”

The clip opens with Ronaldo welcoming Kohli to his YouTube channel. Interestingly, the Al Nassr captain speaks in pure Hindi and calls Kohli “Virat Bhai” in a Desi accent. The legendary Indian batter then expresses his gratitude to the host, saying, “Sukriya, Ronaldo bhai.”

Then comes the most hilarious part of the video. Ronaldo asks Kohli to share his view on the Pakistan cricket team– the arch-rivals of India and the cricketer responds with a funny shayari (poem).

“Who Say It’s Edited?” read the caption of the post.

The AI-made footage caught the attention of many sports fans, who found the edit impressive. One of the viewers quipped, “This is 100% real, I have watched it live.”

Another fan sarcastically said, “Waiting eagerly for the full podcast to be released.”

A viewer was left stunned after seeing the synchronisation of the dialogues. “Lol, it syncs perfectly,” read the comment.

A few weeks ago, the Indian Premier League (IPL), Royal Challengers Bengaluru shared a similar AI-made picture on Instagram. The edited photograph captured Viral Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo having a conversation while sitting on a sofa.

The set-up was reminiscent of what fans could see on the “UR Cristiano” YouTube channel. Virat Kohli x Cristiano Ronaldo = GOAT Square. Would you dare miss it? This collab would break the internet,” RCB wrote in the caption.

Like Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Virat Kohli has also shattered many cricket records during his illustrious career. The duo has inspired the generation with their never-give-up attitude and has been the role model for many youngsters.

There were a few instances when Kohli spoke highly of Ronaldo, shedding light on his work ethic, fitness regime and passion towards the game.
