Fitter than ever: Virat Kohli credits vegetarianism for his ripped physique

It’s been a good year for Virat Kohli. He’s continued his prolific run with the bat, and also became India’s most-successful Test captain of all time, barely five years after assuming the captaincy. In the meantime, he has also become a fitter athlete, as evidenced by photographs showing off his ripped physique.

He attributes the new-found fitness to a stringent training regimen, and also to a key change in his diet: He’s now a vegetarian. Taking to Twitter last week, Kohli spoke of his new diet. “Being a vegetarian athlete has made me realise what I have believed all these years regarding diet was a myth. I’ve never felt better in my life after I turned vegetarian,” he wrote.
