Virat Kohli's physique and athleticism can be largely attributed to the skipper's vegetarian diet, something that he has been proud of for a very long time now. Virat Kohli, one of the best cricketers in the world at the moment, follows a strict vegetarian diet and has been vocal about the positives of a vegetarian diet in the past. Virat Kohli took to Twitter to reveal that his myth about following a vegetarian diet as an athlete had been busted after he saw Netflix's documentary Game Changers - a documentary film about the benefits of plant-based eating for athletes. Virat Kohli also took to express that he had never felt better before after becoming a vegetarian. Earlier, Virat Kohli's spouse Anushka Sharma had also tweeted about the show, hailing its content and the cricketer echoed his wife's views on social media.

Virat Kohli has been arguably the best Test captain in the history of Indian cricket. Under his captaincy, India have been the top-ranked Test side since October 2016. Meanwhile, India have also begun their ICC World Test Championship on an outstanding note with five consecutive Test match wins and are comfortably seated at the summit of the points table with 240 points. Kohli seemed to be in a jovial mood while addressing the media during the post-match press conference. Virat Kohli had asked a reporter whether he would like to greet MS Dhoni in the dressing room which had created a laughter riot at the press box. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli was also asked another important question.

While the Indian skipper was speaking about his team's win, he was asked a question about Sourav Ganguly, who is all set to be elected as the BCCI President to which he replied in a positive manner. "I congratulated him and it's great that he has become BCCI President," said Kohli. However, when questioned about whether Ganguly has had any discussion with Kohli over MS Dhoni's future, here's what Virat Kohli had to say.

"He has not spoken to me about that yet. Okay, so he will get in touch with me when he has to. I am sure. What do I say about that? I will go meet him when he tells me to. That's it," added Kohli which created laughter in the press box once again.
