Indian cricket sensation Virat Kohli earned himself an impromptu endorsement of his global fan base through an appearance on ITV7 Football’s quiz on Stick to Football, where he was mentioned by none other than NFL legend Tom Brady.
Brady made an appearance as a special guest along with the usual panel of Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright on the show, which asked the panel to guess the most-followed athletes on Instagram.
