He took to Twitter and shared the news. He wrote, “Saw game changers on Netflix. Being a vegetarian athlete has made me realise what I have believed all these years regarding diet was a myth. What an amazing documentary and yes I’ve never felt better in my life after I turned vegetarian.”

Virat Kohli, in his initial days of International cricket, had admitted many times that he used to love chicken. Before 2013, he didn’t give that much importance to his fitness and because of taht he gained a lot of weight and he lacked stamina during matches as well.
After 2013, Virat Kohli started giving much focus to his fitness, diet, and training also. As a result, he is now fitter than before with a punctual diet. Because of that he has been performing pretty well on the field. His wife, Anushka Sharma, has been a vegetarian for more than four years, and PETA India has named her the Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity in 2015 as well.
Virat Kohli is one of the most-disciplined athletes of his generation across the globe. As far as Team India’s recent series concerned, India created history on Tuesday as they registered a convincing series victory over South Africa by an innings and 202 runs and whitewashed for the first time. Under Kohli, India have been doing well at home as well as away games.
In the series, Kohli amassed 317 runs and he also became the most successful Test captain of India as he surpassed former India captain MS Dhoni after registering the win against West Indies in Jamaica last month.
