Eating simple foods: The fitness coach emphasised keeping foods as simple as the cricketer does. “Not every day needs to be a meal out of a restaurant. As Kohli said, food is not entertainment.” His approach to diet is a minimalist one, which includes mostly boiled or steamed foods seasoned with salt, pepper, and lemon.

Avoiding oily and fried foods: He stays away from fried foods as well as oily curries and rich gravies. “Yes, I am talking to the chole bhature lovers. Foods like these are not just high in calories but also not very healthy. So much oil going into your system is just going to clog everything up.”
