Virat Kohli Is A Gym Freak; His Body Transformation Has Been Unbelievable: Yuzvendra Chahal

Virat Kohli is the poster boy of not only Indian cricket but also world cricket in the current era. The right-handed Indian genius has impinged his name amongst the greats of the game and he has done that through sheer hard work, grit, unrelenting perseverance, and supreme motivation towards his fitness.

Kohli wasn’t the fittest of blokes when he made his international debut way back in 2008. But within the first years of his career (2012-13), Virat realized that something got to give if he has to become the best in the world. And, the results are for everyone to see.

Kohli is the current benchmark when it comes to fitness and Yuzvendra Chahal, someone who has seen the transformation of Virat from close quarters, feels that if anyone can even emulate 30 percent of what his Royal Challengers Bangalore captain has done, then it is more than enough.

Chahal further hailed Kohli for the fact that he has stayed so humble despite having achieved almost everything that this game has to offer.

“I have been playing with him for around six years now since our RCB days. One thing I have learned is that he is a down to earth person. No matter how much fame he has got, he will take everyone with him – whether it’s personal or on the field; that I have learned from him,” Yuzvendra Chahal said during the Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected”

Chahal admitted that he has soaked in a lot from Virat including his body transformation.

“I know that he’s a gym freak and how he has changed his body – I want to learn that from him. I have seen him since he was 18-19 – the transformation after 2012 or 2013, if anyone adopts even 30 percent of what Virat did, it’s more than enough,” he added.

Chahal and Kohli have been playing together for six years now. The duo first shared the dressing room when the leg-spinner was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore prior to the 2014 edition of the IPL.

Chahal has since then emerged as the key bowler for Kohli both at RCB and Team India.
