Ahead of the highly anticipated IND vs ENG ODI series, Virat Kohli set social media abuzz after a photo of him lifting his jersey to reveal his chiseled abs during a net session went viral. The 36-year-old, known for his elite fitness, is preparing for redemption after a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he scored just 190 runs in nine innings, and a poor Ranji Trophy outing.
With 13,906 ODI runs, Kohli is just 94 runs away from becoming the third batter to cross 14,000 runs, following Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. If he achieves this milestone in fewer innings than Tendulkar, he will become the fastest to do so. As India gears up for the Champions Trophy 2025, starting February 19 in Dubai, Kohli’s form in this series will be crucial to India’s preparations.
