Virat Kohli is among the fittest players in Indian cricket. The former India captain has often credited his fitness for his success on the field. The 33-year-old’s success and fitness mantra has been so popular that many in international cricket have attested to it.
The legendary batter could be accredited to changing the attitude towards fitness in the Indian team. Now many in the Indian team walk in his footsteps when it comes to personal fitness. Players like Surykumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, and others are supremely fit and continue to put huge efforts into their fitness.
The Men in Blue are currently preparing for the upcoming 20-20 World Cup in Australia. The mega event will certainly test the fitness of all players and hence the Indian team is giving great emphasis to their match fitness. In a recent video posted by Virat Kohli on Instagram, he could be seen lifting weights ahead of India’s practice match in Australia.
The video captioned, “Mobility is key. Video credit- Bhau Suryakumar” shows Kohli going through his weight training in the gym. The video has since then received more than 2 million likes on Instagram.

The Indian team has reached the Australian shores on October 6th. The Indian team has already played a practice match with Western Australia XI in October; a match that they won by 13 runs. Earlier today, the Indian players were taken out for a fun day at the Rottnest Island to relax and go into the next match refreshed.
India begins their World Cup campaign with a match against arch-rivals Pakistan on 23rd October at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The team would be looking to come up with a great showing after the disappointing Asia Cup 2022 campaign which ended in Super Four. Sri Lanka had gone on to win the continental tournament.
