I feel that having fit body makes you think better: Kohli

The star batter said that having a fit body helped him think better and added that it could help people in whatever work they take upon in their life. Further, the former Indian skipper said that it was essential for him to stay fit to improve his game.

“Fitness for me is, is probably more important than than cricket practice. I honestly feel that having a fit body makes you think better as well. So it could help people in their work, sport, anything that they do when you when you’re fit,” Kohli said in the video released by Cricket’s governing body.

“If you just want to start your day off well and you look forward to actually doing a lot more on an everyday basis rather than just dragging yourself through the day which I think is not an ideal place to be in. I try to stay fit because if I have a moment where I can make a difference,” he added.

“When there’s pressure and I don’t have the bat in hand, it doesn’t mean my job is over. So you can always change the game with your feeling with your energy with your enthusiasm. If you’re not physically ready, then you won’t be able to capitalize on those moments. so that’s something that I constantly look to do and work for that in the gym or on the training ground,” said Kohli further in the video.
