Virat Kohli on turning vegetarian 

In the very same interview, Kohli revealed what made him turn vegetarian.

"I had left eating meat just before the 2018 England Test series. When we went to South Africa in 2018, I got a cervical spine issue. It gave me a tingling sensation, hurting like mad due to which I could not sleep at night. My body was too acidic, creating too much uric acid. Bones got weaker, hence, I stopped eating meat in the middle of England tour, have not felt better before.

I never felt better waking up, never felt better recovering between Test matches. Being vegetarian has completely changed. You feel lighter, your body changes", said Virat Kohli.
