But one must remember it did not happen overnight.
¡°Kohli once told me, if I don¡¯t set the benchmark as captain, who else will? Even as the world looks on in wonder, I know the boy behind the man. He used to gorge on butter chicken, rolls and all sorts of fast food. But today, it finds no place in his diet," childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma said while speaking to CricketNext.

His coach remembered when butter chicken and mutton rolls used to be Kohli's favourite. But now things have changed.
¡°In fact, he is so particular about his diet, that even when he comes over to my place, he won¡¯t have packaged juices. You either give him fresh fruit juice or you don¡¯t. Carbs are a strict no-no and there are no binge days in his routine anymore,¡± he revealed.

So now we know how he became a fast runner and fit player. There is no doubt about the dedication that he puts in and Kohli is reaping the benefits of it.
Having talent is one thing, converting it into performance is entirely another. Kohli has worked o his game and his body to ensure he is one of the best batsmen of the modern era.
