Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gautam Gambhir


Former Indian cricketer and current mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Gautama Gambhirhas once again made headlines for his portrayal of soccer superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Last December, Gambhir’s response to a question about Lionel Messi versus Cristiano Ronaldo sparked a meme fest on social media. In fact, during a live event, Gambhir was asked to choose between Messi and Ronaldo, and he responded without wasting any time: “Neither. I think I would choose Rashford.”

Marcus Rashford, who plays for Manchester United, was the surprising choice as he was asked to choose between all-time greats Messi and Ronaldo. However, the 2011 World Cup winner opted for Rashford, prompting social media users to create memes and share them widely on the internet.

Gautam Gambhir loses his cool again on the Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo issue

Now, in the midst of the glamor of today IPL 2024, Gambhir once again lost his cool when this issue was raised on a Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) podcast. In fact, in the podcast, KKR’s mentor was once again faced with the same question, asking him to choose his favorite footballer between Messi and Ronaldo.

This time, Gambhir decided to clarify the statement he made last year, and even chose a better player between Messi and Ronaldo in the podcast. However, the former Indian opener stood by his earlier statement about his favorite footballer.

Gautam Gambhir said on the KKR podcast: “So these are memes. It’s good that you asked me this question. I have never understood this theory. Someone asks what is your favorite team? Liverpool or Arsenal. If you ask me what my favorite team is, you can’t give me a choice.

You can’t give me a choice. Can I say, what’s your favorite color? Black or blue. Yours might be gray. How can I give you a choice? The question is, what is your favorite color? If I don’t have both, what can I say? You can say you don’t have both. You will say, who is your favorite player? I disagree”.

I don’t like Messi and Ronaldo: Gautam Gambhir

When the hosts remembered that he had chosen Rashford instead of Messi and Rashford, Gambhir said that he did not like both legendary footballers and that is why he opted for the Manchester United star. In the end, Gambhir admitted that Ronaldo is a better player than Messi.

The KKR mentor added: “Yes, but I don’t like either of them. So what do I say? None. If I like Rashford, I like Rashford. Anyway. They should have asked me: Messi or Ronaldo? Who is the better player? “Then I could have answered, Ronaldo.”
