The secret of Kohli's fitness

India captain Virat Kohli is known to never miss on his fitness routines no matter if he is travelling or on a cricket field.

Widely recognised as one of the fittest cricketers, Kohli has set an example for other cricketers too. His fitness level has won praise of many cricketers but there is also a secret ingredient which plays a vital role to Kohli's success.

As per a report in food.ndtv.com, Kohli only consumes bottled water named Evian.

The water bottler is imported from France and costs about Rs. 600 per litre.

Speaking to CricketNext, Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma recollected days when butter chicken, kathi rolls and mutton rolls would be the Indian skipper's staple diet.

Rajkumar said while athletes and pundits across the world admire Kohli's work ethics and fitness regime, the coach just admires the sacrifices that the Delhi boy has made in order to reach the pinnacle.

“Kohli once told me, if I don't set the benchmark as captain, who else will? Even as the world looks on in wonder, I know the boy behind the man. He used to gorge on butter chicken, rolls and all sorts of fast food. But today, it finds no place in his diet.”
