Their fans call them CR7 , Ibra and leo messi and Ronaldo has the highest number of fans on facebook among any celebrity. Ronaldo in fact has the third most liked facebook page just behind 2 other pages which are related to facebook itself.
Cricket although is not as global as football, yet it is the second most followed in the world after footabll, thanks to the massive fan base in south asia.
It would be interesting to find out the messi , zlatan and Ronaldo Equivalents in cricket.
Which cricketers could be them
Below are the 7 best cricket players that comes to my mind that could equate the 3 football stars above.
Virat Kohli - India
A B DeVilliars - South Africa
Shahid Afridi - Pakistan
Brendon McCullum - New Zealand
Kumar Sangakkara - Sri lanka
Brett Lee - Australia
M S Dhoni - India
Mitchel Johnson - australia
CR7 of Cricket
Ronaldo along with messi are the two players who have the ultimate skills but the thing that makes Ronaldo different from messi is he seems to have a bit more commitment and also takes every match very personal. He sometimes take losses way too serious
Ronaldo emotional after missing a goal!
Messi also has shed tears but not as much as ronaldo I could recollect messi shed a few tears after having lost to peru 4-2, but that was a vital International match and it was the same period where he announced his retirement.
So we could conclude Ronaldo takes football way too serious and personal compared to messi and thus the best players from the cricketing world I could bring forth to match this legend would be
Virat Kohli - India
A B Devilliars - South Africa
Kumar Sangakkara - Sri lanka
all three of them above have skills which are un-matched and the commitment and passion they have for the game is no less than Ronaldo's passion for football. Since we have to select one out of the 3 although difficult I would opt for A B Devilliars, just like Ronaldo A B Devilliars is loved and respected in every cricket playing country, he also has better edge when it comes to skills compared to virat and sangakkara.
Leo Messi of Cricket
Messi like Ronaldo is extremely skilled and but when it comes to emotions I would say he just seem to keep it under control at least above the football standard, he also loves the "one man show" and it is not an uncommon sight to see messi trying to score a goal all by himself without passing it unless it is really required. Based on that I would say the below cricket stars would suit better as the cricket messi
Brendon McCullum - New Zealand
M S Dhoni - India
both Brendon and Dhoni are equally skilled as messi in the cricketing department and also captained their respective teams, they love the sport and rarely loose their cool and If I were to select one among the 2 to be the messi of cricket I think Dhoni would suit better.
Zlatan Ibra of cricket
He is like the "boss" of the football world as of now, his thug life compilations and the way he carry himself people who hate him call that "arrogant" yet the millions of his fans call it "confidence". He also would do the funniest thing at the most serious moment. But having said those he is no short of skills he has the skills to change the match with his aggression and kick power,

If we had to select the Zlatan of the cricket world I would go ahead with 3 of the below players
Shahid Afridi - Pakistan
Brett Lee- Australia
Mitchel Johnson - Australia
the 3 cricketersa above sometimes spark controversies with their actions yet there is no denying that they are some of the greatest legends who made cricket more interesting.
If I had to select one among the 3 I would easily opt for shahid afridi since his ways on the field is exactly zlatan
