Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli opened up about maintaining a balanced diet, emphasizing that fitness is a top priority for him like any other athlete in the world. Virat Kohli recently shared his daily fitness routine and described it as quite comprehensive.
I Do Enjoy Good Food – Virat Kohli
In a conversation with the Indian Express, Virat Kohli emphasized that he follows a strict diet to maintain his fitness and shape despite being a foodie.
“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,” Virat Kohli told Indian Express.
“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 favourite for me and whenever I have the chance, I indulge in a fulfilling plate of chole bhature. So, while I do treat myself to such dishes occasionally, I make sure to follow a strict diet to stay in shape,” he added.
Self-Belief Has Been The Driving Force – Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli emphasized that he draws inspiration from both victories and losses, using them to grow as a player. He highlighted that his self-belief keeps him positive and focused on enhancing his game.
“But what has truly defined me as a person is my ability to stay resilient and keep pushing forward, no matter how difficult the circumstances. People will always have opinions and judgements, but I have learned to trust my instincts and have confidence in my abilities. This self-belief has been the driving force behind all my achievements on the cricket field,” he further stated.
“This self-belief helps me stay positive and focused on improving my game… I draw inspiration from my past successes and learnings. Reflecting on the moments when I performed at my best and analysing the areas where I can improve from losses, helps me grow as a player. Every setback becomes an opportunity for me to come back stronger,” he concluded.
The Delhi-born cricketer will next be seen in action during the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup, which is set to begin on August 30. The batter’s form will be crucial for the Men in Blue in the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup 2023, given his impressive record in mega tournaments.
