New Delhi: India skipper Virat Kohli has rightfully established himself as arguably the best cricketer of modern times and one of the best in history in due course to his career but unlike other athletes, he seems to get better with age.
And, the Indian cricket team skipper credits his fitness and workout regime for all his success on the field.
“Look I am going to be 30 this year. The decision was in terms of extending the quality of cricket that you want to play at an older age as well. I want to play this kind of cricket even when I am 34-35. That’s why I train so much.”
“I try to train as much as I can. Keep a check on my diet. Those things pay off on days like these. When the team needs it, and you stand up, and you are able to pull through. Amazing things happen when you are thinking of the team throughout. As an athlete you crave for days like these,” said the 29-year-old.
