On December 12, Kohli used social media to recount his experience of sampling a new dish during his break from the field. Through his Instagram story, Virat Kohli praised the ‘mock chicken tikka’ made by Blue Tribe, which is a platform emphasizing vegetarian options.

In another Ask Me Anything session, Kohli shared that his favorite diet includes plenty of vegetables, some eggs, two cups of coffee, quinoa, lots of spinach, and he also loves dosas but in controlled quantities. During a conversation with former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen on Instagram, Kohli explained that he reduced his meat intake in 2018 due to health issues.
Kohli encountered a cervical spine problem during the Centurion Test in South Africa in 2018, causing a tingling sensation in his little finger and affecting his ability to bat. Additionally, he experienced increased acidity in his stomach, elevated uric acid levels, and a process where his stomach extracted calcium from the bones, contributing to the spine issue. Consequently, he had to reduce his meat intake.
On the professional front, Kohli emerged as the leading run-scorer in the recently concluded 2023 World Cup, amassing 765 runs in 11 ODIs. In Tests, he has accumulated 557 runs in 10 innings at an average of 55.70 this year, including two tons and a solitary half-century. In South Africa, Kohli boasts 719 runs in seven Tests at an average of 51.36, including two tons and three fifties.
