The man who has been ruling the batting charts over the last 10 years or so has seen everything in his life. The Indian captain has been a different beast altogether in the last 3 years or so. He has seen the greatest of heights and the greatest of lows in his 12 years of exalted career.
He has scored runs all around the world and conquered each and every opposition bowlers and that is the very reason why he is the top ranked batsman across formats. The superman’s hungry for runs never ends irrespective of the celestial heights he has reached in his career.
Virat Kohli names 2 legends as his favorite batting partner
It is safe to say that Virat Kohli is the fittest cricketer in the planet at the moment. He even stopped eating meat and turned into a complete vegan for over 2 years now. The energy and intensity he exhibits in the field of play is contagious and as a captain he leads from the front on all aspects. Indian fitness regime has hit an all time high and India is one of the best fielding sides at present.
It is never an easy job to be a batting partner to the world’s fittest cricketer except for another A class athlete and MS Dhoni and Ab de Villiers are one of them.

Lockdown-A blessing in disguise for Virat Kohli
It is never an easy task for a modern day batsman to stay injury free with so much of cricket played at a breakneck pace. The Indian captain has been playing matches round the clock and pushing his body to the maximum limit which has taken a toll on his performance.
He endured a poor test series against the Kiwis which was very un-Kohli like. The amount of matches this man had to play without undergoing any major injuries is something that is out of the world and this very reason is enough to declare him as the fittest athlete in the cricketing arena.
The Indian captain would have been up and running by now if the Indian premier league had happened as per schedule but the Indian captain has been giving his body and mind much needed rest which will only benefit India in the longer run.
