Indian skipper Virat Kohli and all-rounder Hardik Pandya are known for their passion and dedication towards fitness and have been the benchmark for setting some lofty fielding standards in the Indian team. Amidst the Covid-19 enforced lockdwon, the fitness freaks have been challenging each other to the hilt by sharing one workout drill more difficult than the other and thereby share a healthy competitive spirit. After Virat Kohli responded to Hardik Pandya's fly push-up video, the Indian all-rounder threw his captain with yet another workout challenge as he shared a video of doing a back clap push up and challenged teammates Kohli, KL Rahul, and brother Krunal to perform the workout. "Hey bruh @virat.kohli Always got your back @rahulkl @krunalpandya_official guys would you like to have a go," Hardik captioned the video.

Earlier, Hardik had posted a video of him doing the fly push-up workout and challenged his brother to do the same. "Stronger. Fitter. Still under construction @krunalpandya_official, I challenge you bhai! Let’s see how many you can do #PandyaBrothers," he wrote. Impressed with Hardik's video, Kohli gave it a try but executed the exercise with a little twist. Kohli posted the video on his social media profile and wrote: "Hey H @hardikpandya93 loved your fly push-ups. Here's adding a little clap to it."

Earlier during the lockdown period, Hardik revealed an important piece of advice given to him by the Indian skipper. "Just two days ago, I was speaking to Virat. I asked him ‘what is the reason for your excellence?" Pandya is quoted as saying by Sports Tak. "He replied back ‘your attitude is fine, everything is fine, just you have to keep one thing in mind to reach and have that level of consistency. You should have great hunger to be the no. 1 in the right way. Not by pushing anyone down. By your own hard work and on your own merit, to become the no. 1 should be your goal'," Pandya said.
