Delhi Dynamos star Lallianzuala Chhangte overtakes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to create speed record

The Delhi Dynamos kicked off their Indian Super League Season 4 campaign on a winning note as they recorded an impressive victory against FC Pune City at the Balewadi Stadium. They recorded a 3-2 win at the end of the 90 minutes, having scored three goals in quick succession early in the second half.

A miskicked clearance by the Pune centre-back saw the ball arrive for Chhangte, with acres of space behind the defence for the winger to rush in to. The 20-year-old charged at goal and according to graphics shown in the post-match program, he recorded a top speed of 35.80 km/h.

A study from earlier this year by Mexican club Pachuca, which ranked the world's fastest football players clocked Cristiano Ronaldo at 33.6 km/h and Lionel Messi at 32.5 km/h, which puts the Indian way ahead of world football's most iconic duo.

The fastest player in the world according to the study is Gareth Bale at 36.9 km/h.
