If you've been active on social media recently, you've probably come across the sensation known as 'Speed.'

Speed has been causing quite a stir in Mumbai with his eccentric antics, from barking and screaming to wild jumping, and even making an appearance at the intense India vs Pakistan cricket showdown at the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 on October 14.

Despite many not knowing who he is, Indians have embraced his unconventional style, finding it hard to resist watching his outrageous performances.

But who exactly is Speed, and what's all the fuss about?

  • Meet IShowSpeed, the American YouTuber, rapper, and online sensation, also known as Darren Jason Watkins Jr. or simply 'Speed.'
  • Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, this 18-year-old has carved out a significant presence for himself.
  • Not only is he a popular YouTuber, but he is also recognized as a media personality and a shrewd businessman.
  • Speed's adept gaming skills and content on his official YouTube channel have garnered him an impressive online following, currently standing at 20.7M subscribers.

His passion for cricket was unmistakable when the young Speed publicly hailed Virat Kohli as the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) during a live stream, even donning a Virat Kohli jersey to show his support.

Let's delve into the top 10 amusing moments of Speed's escapades in India. (Prepare to laugh or be utterly bewildered!)

1. Speed vibing on Daler Mehndi's Tunak Tunak

Watch Speed groove through the streets of Mumbai, blasting 'Tunak Tunak' on his speakers.

Fun fact: This is one of Speed's favourite song and he even made a video vibing on it.

2. 'I'm playing like Babar Azam'

When he misses the ball, he says he is playing like Babar Azam, but when that bat meets the ball, it's all about 'suiiiii!

3. B for brother, B for bark

Folks just couldn't help themselves, hopping onto Speed's car and barking in sync. What is this fandom?

4. Speed getting massage

He is clearly and literally mindblown after getting a massage. His face says it all. 

5. Chammak Challo ft Speed

Who knew Speed was a SRK fan? 

Ask no more, watch him groove to Chammak Challo.

6. Speed arrested?

The police had to step in and walk Speed to his hotel because the crowd was going crazy.

But for a moment Speed thought he was getting arrested. (Well for some people he is a lunatic)

7. Is Mahatma Gandhi Virat Kohli's grandfather?

Yes this happened. Speed asks the cab driver who is Mahatma Gandhi and if he is Virat Kohli's grandfather pointing out on the note.

Indians will definitely go crazy.

8. Speed calls MC Stan Chapri

MC Stan is a street rapper from Pune with a social media fan base.

Speed asks him if his nickname is "Chapri". Too much?

9. Rs 100 instead of Rs 10

Speed has reverse bargaining skills. "Keep the change," he says giving a shopkeeper 100 rupees instead of 10 rupees.

Too naive or too generous?

10. And the bark continues

Rather than the usual 'Namaste,' India welcomed Speed with a chorus of barks โ€“ a unique and playful twist on greetings.

As one of YouTube's premier livestreamers, his humour and weird energy has surely taken the Indians by storm.
