It's not always that fans get to interact with Virat Kohli, but these quarantine periods due to COVID have given cricket lovers a chance to know their stars better. In quarantine ahead of leaving for UK, Kohli organised a Q&A session on Instagram where his diet revelation left everyone confused, as per TNN.?
Kohli answered questions ranging from the meaning of the name of his daughter to some core cricketing topics. When asked about his diet, he said: "Lots of vegetables, some eggs, 2 cups of Coffee, quinoa, lots of spinach, love dosas too. But all in controlled quantities."
Interestingly, Kohli had earlier claimed of him turning completely vegan and hence the presence of eggs in his diet has left fans confused. His wife, Anushka Sharma, is a vegan and Kohli himself had admitted that she played a role in this dietary transformation in his life.?
Other than Anushka, Kohli had also mentioned a few 'health reasons' behind this change during an Instagram chat with former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen.?
"I had a cervical spine issue which resulted in a tingling sensation in my little finger making it difficult for me to bat. It happened around the Centurion Test in South Africa in 2018. Moreover, my stomach became a bit acidic, my uric acid went high and my stomach started pulling calcium from the bones which actually resulted in the spine issue. Hence, I had to cut down on meat and now I feel better than ever," Kohli had said.?
After keeping fans engrossed about his diet, India skipper Virat Kohli on Tuesday clarified that he has never claimed to be vegan, as per ANI.
"I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I'm vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want)," Kohli tweeted.?
