    Kohli's fitness fixation goes back to 2012 IPL when he felt he wasn't fit enough to be an international sportsperson.

    He said, "I was 11-12kgs heavier than I am now, really chubby. I changed everything..from what I eat to how I train. I was in gym for an hour-and-a-half every day. Working really hard, off gluten, off wheat, no cold drinks, no desserts, nothing."
