In a video going viral on the internet ahead of the 2nd India-Australia Test at Adelaide Oval, Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, can be seen sharing the secret of his fitness.
Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten century for India in the second innings of the first Test played against Australia at Optus Stadium in Perth last week. The 36-year-old right-arm batter was under immense pressure to deliver after a forgettable home series against New Zealand in October-November. But he lived up to the expectations in the Perth Test and played a big role in India’s 295-run win. Kohli’s return to form is good news for the Indian team, and at the same time it will compound Australia’s problems.
Apart from his batting heroics, Kohli makes a lot of headlines for his fitness, and recently his wife, Anushka Sharma, revealed the secret of his remarkable fitness.
In a video going viral on social media ahead of the day-night Test between India and Australia at Adelaide Oval, Anushka can be seen speaking about Kohli’s commitment to his health and lifestyle.
“Let me be very honest, Virat is incredibly disciplined about his health and fitness. I think this is also happening in our industry now,” she said.
The Bollywood actor, who tied the knot with Kohli in December 2017, revealed the former Indian captain’s daily habits.
“Every morning without fail, he is up early doing cardio or HIIT and practicing cricket with me. His diet is clean—no junk food or sugary drinks. Can you believe he hasn’t eaten butter chicken in almost 10 years?”
“Sleep is non-negotiable for him. He ensures he gets enough rest. It’s the key to staying sharp and performing at his best. He always says that is something you have control over. His commitment to every aspect of his lifestyle is what makes him not just a world-class athlete but also an inspiration to everyone around him,” she added.
