On behalf of India, Virat Kohli went on to score yet another unbeaten century in the second innings in his first Test against Australia at Optus Stadium, Perth, last week. Under a great deal of pressure after an unfortunate home series against New Zealand two months back, the 36-year-old right-arm batter again managed to live up to expectations against Aus in Perth in what proved to be a crucial part of India’s win by 295 runs over the hosts. All of this makes Kohli’s good return for the Indian side, and it will make things even worse for the Australians.
Very well-known for his batting, Kohli makes even more headlines due to fitness, and here comes his wife, Anushka Sharma, revealing the secret behind his stupendous physical fitness maintenance.
Going viral these days on social media regarding the day and night Test between India and Australia at Adelaide Oval is a video featuring Anushka discussing how dedicated Kohli is towards his health and lifestyle.
“Let me be very honest, Virat is incredibly disciplined about his health and fitness. I think it is also happening in our industry now,” she said.
The Bollywood actor who married kohli in December 2017 disclosed about the apparently familiar habits of the ex-Indian captain.
“Every morning without fail, there is an early cardio or HIIT training, and cricket practice with me. His diet is clean-no junk food, no soft drinks. Can you believe, he has not eaten butter chicken for almost ten years?”
“Sleep is something that is not up for bargaining for him. He makes sure that he gets enough rest for the day; that’s the key to staying sharp and performing at his best,” he always says. “That’s something you have control over.” And she added, “It’s that mentality, really well trained in every other aspect of his lifestyle, that makes him not just a world-class athlete but an inspiration to everyone around.”
