The Indian skipper seems relentless as far as fitness is concerned. Kohli took to Instagram to post a fitness video. He is currently in Chennai at the team hotel where the rest of the players are also kept in mandatory quarantine before the start of the first Test between India and England on February 5. He shared a video from his hotel room in which he is seeing riding an exercise bicycle. In the background, we could hear Punjabi music. Virat wrote that Punjabi music and gym equipment are the only two things which are needed during quarantine.
He wrote: “PropheC music and gym equipment is all you need during quarantine days 😁. Work can be put in anywhere if you really want to. ✌️have a great day everyone.”
Virat will be back to leading the team after a short leave which h took after the first Test against Australia. He had taken the leave due to the expected birth of his child. Ajinkya Rahane, who was the stand-in captain will resume his role as the vice-captain yet again.
