'It's a holiday, but still you have to run': Virat Kohli shares his workout video on Independence day

Star Indian batsman and former captain Virat Kohli, known for his fitness commitment, continues to inspire fans with his rigorous workout routines shared on social media. Even on Independence Day, a national holiday, Virat hit the gym to maintain his form for the upcoming Asia Cup.

Sharing a video on X (formerly Twitter), he said, "Chutti hai fir bhi bhaagna toh padega" along with emojis depicting a grinning face and a person running. Although India's squad for the tournament is yet to be announced, numerous players are gearing up for the competition.



The Asia Cup will feature a hybrid model, with Pakistan hosting four matches and Sri Lanka hosting India's matches as well as a total of nine other fixtures. India is placed in Group A alongside Pakistan and Nepal, while Group B comprises Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. India's journey in the tournament kicks off on September 2 in Kandy, facing Pakistan, followed by a match against Nepal on September 4 at the same venue.

In a recent interview Kohli had said: "I believe in pushing myself to the limit when it comes to training." I do a mix of strength training, agility drills, and endurance workouts. "It's all about laying a solid foundation to handle the rigors of the game while remaining injury-free," he said.

"Of course, rest and healing are essential. Allowing my body to recover from rigorous training sessions is critical for top performance. As a result, I make sure to get adequate sleep and pay attention to my body's demands."
