Congratulations on your sixth #BallonDor #LionelMessi,&quot; tweeted Kuldeep who himself is a big football buff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was Messi&#39;s first Ballon d&#39;Or since 2015 and comes after he scored 54 times for club and country in 2018-19, in which FC Barcelona won La Liga, reports BBC Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before 2015, the Barcelona forward had won the award in 2009, 2010, 2011 and in 2012.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a glittering ceremony that took place at the Theatre du Chatelet on Monday night, the 32-year-old Argentine confirmed all the predictions that he was the outstanding favourite for this year&#39;s trophy, edging out Liverpool&#39;s Virgil van Dijk who helped Liverpool to win the title of the Champions League last season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Juventus and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won the award five times, was third in the voting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kuldeep, meanwhile, is part of India squad which will be locking horns with the West Indies in three T20Is and as many ODIs.
