Popular YouTuber IShowSpeed has launched a flamboyant appeal to Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli after striking the stumps during a Caribbean training session. The influencer, known for his energetic content, urged the former captain to contact him following his successful throw. Speed also mentioned the Mumbai cricket team while wearing local attire, successfully capturing the attention of millions of Indian supporters.
An Impassioned Appeal to Kohli
The American streamer demonstrated his enthusiasm by targeting the stumps with a sharp throw from the non-striker’s end. After hitting the bull’s eye, he immediately shouted, “Virat Kohli, bruh, you might need to call me,” alongside appeals to the Mumbai team and the ICC.

Although his action appeared more like a fielder’s throw than a legal delivery, his confidence remained unshaken. He declared himself the greatest while continuing his impassioned plea. Speed is already known for his admiration of Cristiano Ronaldo, a passion he notably shares with the Indian batsman.
Courting the Indian Audience
Speed has previously displayed his cricketing interest by attending the India versus Pakistan T20 World Cup fixture in New York. He famously cheered for Virat Kohli during the match, reacting with immense joy to his boundaries before being left stunned when Naseem Shah claimed the vital wicket.
His reference to the Mumbai franchise rather than Bangalore likely stems from limited local knowledge. Experts suggest he may recognise the Mumbai team through West Indian legends like Alzaari Joseph or Kieron Pollard. Regardless of his accuracy, the gamer continues to engage millions of fans across India.
