India skipper Virat Kohli has looked in stellar form in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. With 2 centuries and a near miss fifty in the three matches that have been played, his knocks have highlighted a noticeable difference. Albeit possessing exquisite stroke-play, technique and temperament, the one thing missing his catalogue was the ability to convert his innings into something greater rather than getting to a mini-milestone and throwing his wicket away.

His unbeaten 160 at Newlands portrayed that Kohli has now mastered the art of playing big knocks and seeing the team through. Virat Kohli said that his century in Cape Town on Wednesday was special as he had to continuously change his game through the innings. The change is more vivid in Tests, where he has played long innings rather frequently in the past year-and-a-half – scoring all his six double centuries.

However, Kohli concedes the skill hasn’t been easy to acquire. The 29-year-old credits his high level of fitness as well as his intensity that has enabled him to sustain the most excruciating of situations.

In a recent interview with TOI, the Indian skipper revealed the reason behind his intense training regime. Kohli expressed his intention of playing international cricket till the 2023 World Cup and said, “Look I’m going to be 30 this year. I want to play this kind of cricket even when I am 34-35. That’s why I train so much.”

How Kohli’s diet looks like

Virat Kohli’s fitness regimen has become the standard his teammates as well as promising players, are aspiring for. The batting dynamo follows a very strict food diet. He has not had wheat, rice, curry or deserts ever since he has been following his fitness regime like a religion.

He has been living on a diet comprising grilled fish, chicken, steamed vegetables, salads, egg whites, personalized bread. Such is the dedication of the cricketer that he won’t cheat even on the biggest of occasions like his own birthdays or festive celebrations. That is the commitment which channelizes his immense potential into a stream of success.
