One of the finest cricketers in the world, Babar Azam, recently, got a new follower on Instagram, IShowSpeed or Speed, who is a popular Youtuber. American YouTuber Darren Watkins Jr is a huge fan of legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and Pakistan cricket fans rejoiced when Speed started following their skipper. Their joy was short-lived, however, when they discovered that Speed is also an ardent fan of former Indian captain Virat Kohli.

A video of Watkins Jr, who runs an extremely popular YouTube channel, screaming Kohli's name is, currently, making the rounds on social media. When the 18-year-old discovered that Babar was being compared to Kohli, he instantly went to the Pakistan opening batter's Instagram message box and sent him a voice note in which he said, "Virat Kohli better."

Watch the video below: 

 

Pakistan fans celebrated when Speed followed Babar, but the following video, which surfaced on the internet, poured trolls and memes on the right-handed batter.

Babar has always been compared to India ace batter Kohli for several reasons. Both are known for achieving and breaking numerous records in the game of cricket. While Kohli has already reached greater heights, Babar has shown signs of becoming a great player in his early stages of career. Babar, recently, became the second fastest Asian player to reach 12,000 runs in international cricket after Kohli.

"Who is Miss Dhoni?": Speed mocks MS Dhoni

Meanwhile, YouTuber Speed, who rose to success with his gaming live stream, received massive backlash from Indian fans for insulting legendary captain MS Dhoni in another video. As he googles Dhoni, Watkins Jr, who is also a rapper, yells, "Who the f*** is this?" There also he took the name of Kohli and said that he is better than Dhoni.

“He’s a f***ing library teacher… Who is Miss Dhoni?"... "Why-rat Kohli" is better.

“He’s retired. He don’t even play," says Speed, looking at photos of Dhoni. He insists that Virat Kohli is better once again since MS Dhoni "retired". However, this did not go down well with the fans and they started lashing out at the American YouTuber.

Here's how fans reacted to Speed's voice note to Babar Azam:
