Manchester United Legend Reveals His Favorite Indian Cricketer, and It's Not Virat Kohli

When asked about his favorite Indian cricketer, Ferdinand surprised everyone by choosing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar over current stars like skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

"Tendulkar [Sachin]. He's the guy, isn't it? Tendulkar's the guy. That's the main, the main man. Who's the other one? Is it [Virat] Kohli? I don't know many but Tendulkar just always stood out to me. He's the most charismatic and obviously what he achieved as well was like that was worldwide recognition. It's not just cricket fans that hear about someone like him. And that's someone that transcends the sport," said Ferdinand.
