New Delhi [India], July 23: Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday revealed that it was "so difficult" for him to convince his mother that he is fine after she showed concerns when the cricketer got leaner by following a fitness regime. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video on Twitter in which Kohli is interacting with teammate Mayank Agarwal. My mom used to tell me that I am becoming weak. That is a very regular thing, any mother would say. They (mothers) didn't understand the difference between having concern and having professionalism about a sport you're playing," Kohi said in the video. Virat Kohli Workout Video: Indian Cricket Team Captain Picks Power Snatch As His Favourite Exercise.

"If the child is not looking chubby, that means there's something wrong with him or he is sick. So I was always like I am not sick. Every other day I had to convince her that I am not sick and I am doing this because I want to play. It was so difficult to convince her," he added. Kohli further stated, "That was funny at times but also annoying at times because you are following a regime and next day when you wake up and hear that 'Tu toh beemaar lag raha hai' (you are looking sick)... But yeah, good times." Virat Kohli Comes Up With an Extreme Version of Hardik Pandya’s Flying Push-Ups.
