'Steamed or boiled food with no spices' - Star RCB batter Virat Kohli reveals his diet plan

Star India batter Virat Kohli is one of the fittest cricketers in the world. The former India captain is admired in the cricketing fraternity for his incredible athleticism on the field. Kohli even brought a fitness revolution in Indian cricket with the ‘Yo-Yo Test’ being an important benchmark for selection in the Indian team. 

Recently, the star cricketer revealed the diet plan that helps him stay in shape throughout the cricketing calendar and helps him perform at his best in every game. In a video which is going viral all over social media, Kohli can be seen revealing his diet plan which mostly consists of steamed or boiled food with no spices. He further said that the taste of his food doesn’t bother him at all.

“90 per cent of my food is all steamed, boiled. No masala. Salt and pepper, lime, that’s how I eat. I am not a big fanatic about the taste of food, I don’t care about the taste. Salaads I enjoy with a bit of dressing. Pan-grilled good with a bit of olive oil or whatever. No curries, I only eat daal (lentils). I would eat rajma and lobhiya as a Punjabi can’t skip it. I would eat daal (lentils) but no masala curries," Kohli said.

Kohli has rarely missed any game in the past few years due to injuries which speaks volumes of his dedication towards his fitness. However, the Delhi-born cricketer wasn’t a fitness freak when he started his career and which he has revealed in his interviews time and again.

One day, he had an epiphany while observing himself in a mirror as he didn’t like how he looked. From then on, the star cricketer completely changed his habits which began doing wonders on the field as he became more agile. Kohli hasn’t looked back since then and has set high standards of fitness for other members of his team to follow.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023, Kohli is being seen captaining Royal Challengers Bangalore once again as regular captain Faf du Plessis is struggling due to a rib injury. Virat is also enjoying brilliant form with the bat having scored 333 runs in eight innings at an average of 47.57 and a strike rate of 142.30 with five fifties to his name. 

RCB are currently fifth on the points table with four wins from eight matches, two of which have come under Kohli’s leadership.
