Cristiano Ronaldo, Virat Kohli have THIS in common

Cristiano Ronaldo and Virat Kohli have been shared as sources of inspiration by Nitish Kumar Reddy, the dynamic all-rounder for Sunrisers Hyderabad, prior to his team's pivotal Indian Premier League (IPL) matchup with the Mumbai Indians (MI).

Nitish is inspired by the unshakable determination and steadfast focus of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo and cricket icon Virat Kohli. They both have an attitude of constant growth and unhappiness with mediocrity.

Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians are in different places on the points standings as they are ready to play one another at the Wankhede Stadium.

With three wins and eight losses, the Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the league and desperately need a reversal to save their season.

With six victories, four defeats, and twelve points, Sunrisers Hyderabad is in fourth place and in a strong position to make the playoffs.

"My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. So I just follow him. I am a huge follower of him. We can watch Virat Bhai and Cristiano. 

Their mentality is like that. They are never satisfied with the things they are doing. They want to go beyond their usual levels. This pushes me a lot as well," Nitish Reddy stressed.
