Cricket World Cup 2023: A Healthy Meal of Virat Kohli is Revealed
The superstar of Indian cricket team Virat Kohli is in the form of his life in the Cricket World Cup 2023, emerging as the top-scoring batter in the tournament with 354 runs in 5 matches. While the hunger of Virat for runs and to succeed with the Indian team has seen him go from strength to strength in the tournament, the 34-year-old has also taken good care of the sort of food he eats to remain in optimum shape. Now a chef from one of the hotels where Team India stayed has revealed what Kohli has been eating during this World Cup.
The executive chef of a hotel revealed that most players have been going for high-protein and low-carb diets during the course of the World Cup. While some players prefer grilled fish and chicken, being a vegan, Virat has been relying on tofu and soy-based meals for his protein requirements.
Anushman Bali, executive chef at Leela Palace, said, “The buffet has all kinds of meat, but the players opt for steamed or grilled chicken or fish.”
Anushman also said, "Virat doesn't eat meat, so we went for steamed foods, like vegetarian dim sums, and other vegetable-based proteins, like soya, mock meats, and lean proteins, like tofu, for him. We include as little dairy as possible in his meals.”
