Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, who unlike other athletes seems to get better with age, has rightfully established himself as arguably the best cricketer of modern times.

But at home, his chiselled and toned body was not always appreciated by his mother, who thought the Indian captain was falling sick.

"My mom used to tell me I am becoming weak. That's a very regular thing any mother would say," Virat Kohli told Agarwal on #OpenNetsWithMayank in the video that was shared on BCCI's Twitter handle.

"If a child is not looking chubby matlab koi to problem hai ya bimar hai wo (there is some problem or he is sick). Every second day I had to convince her I am not sick. I am doing this to play well.

"It was so difficult to convince her. That was funny at times but also annoying at times because you are following a regime and agle din uthke (the next day) you hear tu to bimar lag raha hai (you are looking sick). Anyway it was so tough, it was so hard to control myself. But yeah good times," said Kohli as Agarwal was all smiles.

Earlier in the day, captain Kohli shared his 1000th post on Instagram on Thursday to express his gratitude towards his die hard fans for their love and support extended

""2008 2020. With many learnings along the way, I'm grateful for your love and support you guys have shown me. Here's to the #1000thPost," Kohli said on Instagram along with an image.
