Virat Kohli admits heavy workload taking toll on his body

The men in blues skipper Virat Kohli has recently admitted that heavy workload has started to take a toll on him. Further, he said that the break from Nidahas Trophy has helped him to recover from a few niggles.

Kohli has time and again spoken about managing the workload of the Indian cricketers. Meanwhile, this is the first time Kohli has acknowledged the heavy workload has taken a toll.

Meanwhile, India is sitting pretty well in the ongoing Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka. After a humiliating loss in the first game, they have come back to win back-to-back games. Later, today they will take on Bangladesh in the fifth game of the series.

Workload taking a toll:

Kohli talked about being careful about his body, cricket, and mind. Also, he admitted that his body this break to remain fresh for the upcoming tours.

“Physically I had a few niggles, I am just getting over those. The workload has started to disagree with me a little bit. I have to be very careful about how I go forward with my body, my mind, my cricket. Times like these are very, very important. I am totally enjoying it; I do not even have an inch of me missing out on anything because my body really needed this,” Kohli said during a promotional event.

However, Kohli is keeping a close eye on Sri Lanka. Also, he noted that it was a good win for the team against Sri Lanka.

Kohli admires Roger Federer:

Kohli said he admires tennis legend Roger Federer for the way he has been going about his business, taking adequate breaks in between and still staying at the top. Last month, the 36-year-old Federer became the oldest in history to become the world No 1.

“Roger Federer is my ultimate favourite, just because of the way that belief shows when he plays and it is so beautiful, he has a family now, he has his priorities set and he takes time off the game without worrying about opinion and criticism and then he comes in and wins Grand Slams at 36. He is defying all logic so that is something that I totally love. I hate following the norm, and he is someone breaking all those barriers on a daily basis. I have a huge respect for him,” Kohli concluded.
