The conversation began with Allahbadia asking Ferdinand about his familiarity with cricket. Ferdinand admitted, "We used to play cricket during training at Manchester United, but I hated fielding-it's boring!" He reminisced about his footballing days and revealed that Phil Neville, his former teammate, was exceptionally talented at cricket. "Phil could have played for England but chose football when he was 14 or 15," Ferdinand shared.

When asked if he remembered any Indian cricketers from that era, Ferdinand promptly mentioned the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. "Yeah, I remember Tendulkar. He's the guy, the main name," he said. Attempting to recall another cricketer, Ferdinand stumbled upon Virat Kohli's name but mispronounced it as "Cola," sparking laughter from Allahbadia, who quickly corrected him.

Ferdinand responded with a laugh and confessed, "Yeah, I don't know many [cricketers], but Tendulkar is more charismatic for what he has achieved."

The humorous exchange highlighted Ferdinand's limited but genuine admiration for cricket and its icons. Despite not being well-versed in the sport, the Manchester United icon's acknowledgement of Tendulkar's greatness struck a chord with viewers. Fans flooded the comments section with jokes about Ferdinand's misstep, with many appreciating the playful interaction.

During the interaction, Ferdinand also toyed with the idea of bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to India for the first time and calling it his mission.
