These four superstars are a class apart

Talent can take you to a certain level. But after that, it is the amalgamation of hard work and talent which matters the most. We have seen immensely talented sportspersons lose the plot because of their lack of hard work and their poor attitude.

But these four superstars have used their talent in the best manner possible and sharpened that talent with immense hard work. They have had the insatiable hunger to do well and that has helped them overcome all the obstacles in their path.

Kohli and Ronaldo both had immense passion which enabled them to work their way to the top. They both love to work hard on their skills and that really paved the way toward their immense success.

Kohli has worked extensively on his batting and fitness to become the player he is now. There was never a doubt about his consistency, but if someone follows his career graph closely, one can see that the man has gone from strength to strength.

The case with Ronaldo is almost same as after joining Real Madrid in 2010, the man outdid himself and other rivals in terms of records year after year. From his Manchester United days, he has been known as a hard worker and he has certainly reaped the benefits of his effort.

Messi and De Villiers are incredible talents and they seem to have been born with that special something. It’s difficult to perfect the outrageous strokes which AB unfurls unless someone practises them day in day out. De Villiers himself admitted that he prefers to keep a clear head and that he is a firm believer of following his instincts.

The Argentinian too perfected his free-kick and passing skills by practising day in day out, and now reaps the benefits of that. A team player to the core, the left-footed genius creates magic with his moves and leaves an indelible impression on every mind.
