Virat Kohli: There is not an iota of doubt about Virat Kohli being a fitness freak and trendsetter among cricketers who have revolutionized fitness. The legendary batter is also very particular about his diet and portions of food, which he indulges during training sessions. However, the 35-year-old indulges in cheat days, and the one item he can’t resist having is Chole Bhature.
The foodie that Kohli is once in a while, has this Punjabi dish but makes sure to work out heavily the next day.
“Yes, I do enjoy good food, and I must admit, being a Punjabi, I have a soft spot for some delicious and hearty dishes. Chole bhature is an all-time favorite for me, and whenever I have the chance, I indulge in a fulfilling plate of chole bhature.” This is where he underlines the importance of “maintaining a balanced diet” to support his fitness and performance on the field. “So, while I do treat myself to such dishes occasionally, I make sure to follow a strict diet to stay in shape,” Kohli said to Indian Express.

For the uninitiated, the former India captain has turned vegan for the past four years, but that has not stopped him from being strong. Kohli eats healthy vegan options and works out tirelessly in the gym to be in the best possible shape. This is one of the main reasons Kohli does not get injured himself as he prioritizes fitness.
“Fitness has always been a top priority for me. It is not just about being a professional athlete — it is also about leading a healthy and fulfilling life. My fitness routine is quite comprehensive, and I make sure to dedicate time every day to stay in top condition.”
“When it comes to training, I believe in pushing myself to the limit. I engage in a combination of strength training, agility drills, and endurance exercises. It’s all about building a strong foundation to handle the challenges of the game and stay injury-free,” he explains.
“Of course, rest and recovery are equally crucial. Giving my body enough time to recover from intense training sessions is essential for peak performance. So, I make sure to get enough sleep and listen to my body’s needs.”
After the small break, Kohli will next be seen in Asia Cup. The right-hand batter will depart for Sri Lanka on August 30. India will face Pakistan in their first game in Continental Cup on September 2 in Kandy.
