Delhi: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised the fitness of veteran batsman Virat Kohli. During the conversation at the ABP Summit, Gambhir said that Virat is the most fit player of Team India. He also laughed and said that I wish he was as fit as Virat and could enter his body.

Gambhir said, “If I get a chance to get into a player's body, I will choose Virat Kohli. Because he is the most fit cricketer of this team.”

What is the secret of Virat's fitness?

Virat Kohli's hard work and strict diet is behind his fitness. Virat himself believes that he has a lot of discipline in eating and drinking. He once told that 90 percent of his food is boiled. Do not add spices to the food, only use salt, pepper and lemon. They worry about the form of their body more than the taste of eating. Virat says that he only uses olive oil for cooking and does not eat things like curry. However, they do not leave food like dal, Rajma and cowpea because they are part of Punjabi food.

Gambhir also said on the future of Virat-Rohit

Gautam Gambhir spoke openly about the future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He made it clear that he will decide his performance, not his name in the team of these two veterans. Gambhir said, “As long as Virat and Rohit are scoring runs and showing good games, they will be part of the team. They will be selected only on the basis of performance. Any coach, no selector or BCCI cannot decide how long they will play.”

Gambhir further said that his job is not to choose favorite players. He said, “Choosing team is the job of the selectors, not the coach. My job is to prepare those players who are performing brilliantly on the field.”
