There aren’t a lot of Indian cricketers in the modern era who can match the fitness standards of the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. The meticulous attention to workouts and recovery has made Kohli one of the fittest Indian cricketers around and also on the global stage. In the UAE for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Kohli has been training hard with his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammates in Dubai.

Recently, Virat posted pictures on social media from one such training session. In them, he can be seen having a net session, playing football with teammates as a warm-up, and cooling himself down with an ice bath. Captioning the post, Kohli wrote: “Proper session + proper humidity + great recovery @RCBTweets.”

Kohli has never managed to win the IPL trophy with RCB despite having made the final on three occasions. The league has been moved out of India this year due to the increasing cases of COVID-19 pandemic in the world’s second-most populous country that has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases in the world.

However, the IPL will be played inside separate bio-bubbles made for franchises with strict protocols for social distancing and other precautionary measures. Kohli has implored all players to maintain all the necessary protocols and as they are “not here to have fun”.

Talking about the same, Kohli said, “We are all here to play cricket…The bio-bubble needs to be respected at all times for the tournament to happen eventually. We are not here to have fun and roam around and you know say that ‘I want to hang out in Dubai’.”
