Virat Kohli‘s transformation as one of the best batsmen in the world right now is as amazing as his remarkable transformation into arguably the fittest cricketer. The India skipper had arrived at the international stage with a chubby face but has now set a high benchmark with his disciplined lifestyle.

Such was Kohli’s desperation to get fit that he gave up on his favorite foods. Rajkumar Sharma, Kohli’s childhood coach, had revealed earlier this year how the Indian batting star gave up butter chicken and rolls to set a ‘benchmark as captain’.

Well, recently, the 29-year old revealed his diet which helped him to get the chiseled body.

“I have a set breakfast. I eat an omelette, three egg whites, one whole egg. The spinach black pepper and cheese, some grilled bacon or smoked salmon along with it. I eat papaya or dragon fruit if it’s available or watermelon. I eat decent amount of cheese for good fats. I carry my own butters and I get gluten free bread from the hotels…so I apply on that. Then a nice big pot of green tea with lemon, I drink three to four cups of that,” said the Indian captain on the show Breakfast with Champions.

“When our trainer Mr. Basu tells me to put on a bit of muscle then I increase red meat. Otherwise generally for lunch it’s grilled chicken and mashed potatoes, spinach and veggies and for dinner it’s seafood,” he added.
