Virat Kohli faced heat recently when he claimed to be having eggs during a recent Instagram Live session where the India captain interacted with his fans. Known to be a ‘vegan’, fans were left confused over Kohli’s diet. “Lots of vegetables, some eggs, 2 cups of Coffee, quinoa, lots of spinach, love dosas too. But all in controlled quantities,” the Indian skipper responded when a fan asked his diet.

On Tuesday, Kohli broke his silence over the recent backlash when he took to Twitter and claimed not to be a ‘vegan’. “I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I’m vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want ),” Kohli tweeted.

Kohli is extremely cautious with his diet which also makes him arguably the fittest cricketer in the world. The turnaround started in 2012 when Kohli took to fitness seriously and changed his dietary habits. Time and again, Kohli has mentioned this interviews how his diet has helped him get fit.

Kohli & Co will soon leave for the United Kingdom for a four-month-long tour. India will play the inaugural World Test Championship final against New Zealand on June 18 at Southampton. That would be followed by a five-match Test series versus England.

In what would come as a piece of good news for Indian cricketers, the BCCI has got the green signal from the UK government to take their family along with them on tour.
