YouTube sensation iShowSpeed is currently in India to support Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and the national team in the ongoing World Cup. He is in Mumbai and will be travelling to watch the India vs Pakistan match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 14.

This visit has generated a lot of excitement among his fans, who eagerly awaited his decision to come to India. iShowSpeed is currently live-streaming his experiences in Mumbai and exploring the city with his cameraman and manager, Slipz.

Who is iShowSpeed or Speed?

Darren Watkins Junior, widely known as iShowSpeed or Speed, is a well-known American YouTuber, streamer, singer, rapper, and internet personality. iShowSpeed had expressed a strong desire to visit India, primarily to meet his idol, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, and has now fulfilled this aspiration.

He recently arrived in Mumbai, India, and has exciting plans. On October 13, he's scheduled to travel to Delhi, with the possibility of meeting Virat Kohli. During a live stream, iShowSpeed donned an Indian cricket jersey featuring Kohli's name and embraced Indian culture by wearing a traditional dhoti.

In a fun twist, he visited a local cricket ground in Mumbai and tried his hand at batting, showcasing his limited cricket experience. Not surprisingly, he found it challenging to connect with most of the balls bowled to him.

Not only has he received Kohli's attention, but also a Bollywood legend, Daler Mehndi, invited him to India to sing and jam together. Daler was impressed by iShowSpeed's dance to his iconic "Tunak Tunak Tun."

In March 2023, iShowSpeed had a FaceTime conversation with renowned Indian rapper Emiway Bantai, discussing the possibility of collaboration in case he visited India. However, it's uncertain whether this collaboration will materialise, as the conversation occurred a few months ago.

iShowSpeed's potential meeting with Virat Kohli is creating a buzz after he met Cristiano Ronaldo. The popular YouTuber and streamer boast a strong following on both YouTube and Instagram, thanks to his humour and passion.
