Kohli posts about hitting the gym on Independence Day

Virat Kohli posted a video on Instagram wherein he can be seen running on a treadmill. He had captioned the photo as “Chutti hain phir bhi bhaagna hi padega” which translates to “It might be a holiday but you still have to keep running”. The post has received more than 46 Lakh likes within a single day. Kohli’s shirtless looks had left his fans stunned. 

“Puri India independence mana raha hain but king kaam mein busy hain, legend is legend” (The whole country is celebrating independence but the king is busy with his work). 

Kohli’s fitness is considered to be a major reason for his consistent form. During his regime as a captain he also tried to introduce a culture of fitness to the Indian Cricket Team. Markedly the Yo-Yo test became a benchmark for selections. Virat Kohli believed in leading from the front in this domain and this had a particularly interesting effect on the fielding of the Indian team which was markedly sloppy in the preceding decade.
