On Tuesday, India footballer Pritam Kotal was all praise about Kohli and the impact he and Sunil Chhetri have had in terms of footballers taking their diet and fitness regime seriously.
“We were educated about a sportsman’s diet during our AIFF Academy days. Post 2015-16 I took it extremely seriously – that’s when the realisation crept in. I read about how Virat Kohli approaches his fitness, his training regime, diet, and how never ever he goes against the roadmap laid down by his personal trainer. Having Sunil-bhai (Chhetri) around helped as with his controlled diet plan, Sunil-bhai’s fitness and performances reached a different level. Both Virat and Sunil-bhai are the pioneers,” Kotal said.
