Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli’s physical fitness: “Virat Kohli is the fittest player in the Indian Team”. He jokingly expressed his desire to be as physically fit as Virat.
Indian Cricket Team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed his admiration for Virat’s exceptional fitness, saying that he is the fittest player in the Indian cricket scene. Known for his seriousness on the field, Gambhir made sincere remarks about Virat’s dedication to his fitness
“If I could enter a cricketer’s body, it would be Virat Kohli’s – because he is the fittest player on the team,” said Gambhir during a candid interaction.
Virat Kohli is known for being one of the fittest cricketers in the world. His fitness journey has been marked by following a strict diet, training regularly, and living a disciplined life.
Emphasising his diet, he said, “90 per cent of my food is all steamed, boiled. No masala. Only salt, pepper, and lime; that’s how I eat. I am not a big fanatic about the taste of food, I don’t care about the taste. Salads, I enjoy with a bit of dressing. Pan-grilled is good with a bit of olive oil or whatever. No curries; I only eat dal (lentils), but no masala curries. I do, however, eat rajma and lobia (black-eyed pea); as a Punjabi can’t skip them.”
Gambhir also talked about the speculation surrounding his relationship with Kohli often portrayed as tense. Denying these matters, he said, “It’s just two Delhi boys having fun. If that’s a problem, I’ll tell BCCI to stop posting about it.”
When asked if he misses his role at Kolkata Knight Riders, Gambhir replied, “Honestly, not. I have a bigger responsibility to take Indian cricket forward.”
