Legendary player Virat Kohli of Team India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has previously talked candidly about his mother, Saroj Kohli. He mentioned her worries about his former dietary choices, which seemed to have left him emaciated. On Sunday, May 11, Mother’s Day, video clips of Virat Kohli’s admission on the subject have been going viral online.
Virat Kohli mentioned in the chat how other players were interested in finding out about his training routine. After the games, his mother spoke to him and urged him to eat healthily since she was concerned about him becoming thin.
“People keep talking about fitness, and I get scolded by my mother after a match. She thinks I am too thin. I should get more healthy. People usually ask me about my fitness regimen, and on the other hand, my mother wants me to have parathas. Her scolding is from that point of view, She wants to feed me well.”

“Kohli has been its most influential figure” – Greg Chappell keeps Virat Kohli in the same bracket as Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni
Virat Kohli was praised by Greg Chappell for his services to the Indian cricket team, placing him in the same league as MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. He wrote on this:
“Yes, Tendulkar was a genius. Yes, Dhoni was a master tactician and an ice-cold finisher. But in the grand reckoning of Indian cricket history, Kohli has been its most influential figure.”

In addition, the cricketer-turned-commentator gave Kohli credit for sustaining Test cricket in the hectic T20 setting. In conclusion, the former Australian captain said:
“He [Kohli] revamped everything: diet, training, mindset. In doing so, Kohli became the blueprint for the modern Indian cricketer – relentlessly professional, obsessively fit, and mentally ironclad.”
Greg Chappell
“His evolution mirrored that of India itself – no longer content to play the supporting act. Confident, global, yet deeply connected to its roots. His global stardom ran parallel to the rise of the IPL, yet he never let the glitz distract from his Test ambitions. He made white-ball cricket his domain without sacrificing a drop of red-ball purity.”

Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket after scoring 9230 runs in 123 games, including 30 hundreds.
