Virat Kohli is passionate for fitness and he has shared his dedication for the training with his fans often. His workout videos are so impactful that he is an inspiration for many budding players. In a recent conversation, Royal Challengers Bangalore fitness coach has revealed the inside of the gym conversation with the fitness freak.
He said, “The onus of this change (passion for fitness) is on Virat. I have been seeing him since 2009. In 2014, he said he has a stiff back and can you do something about it? It was only for six weeks and we could not do much then. But in 2015, he said you should do a bigger role. So, I told him we will make a template for you and I will have to make drastic changes to the training that you are doing now. He asked a lot of technical questions and after several conversations back and forth, he said: 'Ok let's start.”
“People are always caught up with visual fitness, they look at you (an athlete) and they say oh yes, he looks so fit. But athletic fitness is very different. Yes, Virat is very fit and he looks (fit) too, the cosmetics, and he is blessed that way. He is extremely powerful. It is the same thing with Dinesh Karthik...his resilience and robustness on the cricket field is unbelievable. I mean, he's the Ryan Giggs of cricket. He's never been injured much and hardly loses any time on the field. So, once the captain is brought into the theory the rest was easier. My theory is that once you hit one, you hit five, once you hit five you'll hit 50 and once you hit 50, you hit the nation,” he concluded.
