The batting superstar took to Instagram to reveal his score, stating: “The happiness of finishing the yo yo test between the dreaded cones. 17.2 done.”
Virat Kohli set the Indian cricket fraternity abuzz with his revelation. Several fans took to social media platforms to express their disappointment over the decline in his fitness. The reason behind the disappointment was Virat Kohli’s best Yo-Yo score. As per reports, Virat Kohli’s best score is 19 and so the 17.2 mark came as a shock to many.
