Kohli is currently in Ahmedabad with the Indian cricket team as they gear up for the fourth and the final Test against England, beginning on 4th March. Kohli, who recently became the most successful Indian skipper on home soil, has been training hard ahead of the series-deciding match.
Earlier in the day, he shared a picture with Team India’s strength and conditioning coaches Nick Webb and Soham Desai. Sharing the picture, Kohli wrote that the two of them make life hard for him in the gym but it helps him give his best on the field. India leads the Test series 2-1 and need to at least win or draw the last match against England to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
