Indian skipper Virat Kohli is among one of the most followed sportspersons in India. The 29-year-old cricketer is also popularly known among Indian youth as a fitness enthusiast. Virat took fitness to a new level by making Yo-Yo Test mandatory for selection in the national squad.

 

Virat associates himself only with brands that are good for health. That’s why it came as a surprise for many of his followers when reports regarding Virat’s ‘eating habits’ emerged online. His fans had raised questions when he appeared in an advertisement for branded potato chips — Too Yumm.

However, this morning Virat has put to rest the controversy by writing an open letter to his fans:

 

Dear Fans,

So, I believe recent pictures of me have been making the rounds for all the wrong reasons. I have received some very confused messages from my fellow fitness enthusiasts and fans.

Tune in to the 1st strategic timeout of the 8 pm IPL match tonight, and I assure you, you will have answers to your questions.

Before I reveal my reasons, I would like to mention that I have always been, and will continue to be very vocal and passionate about the importance of eating healthy. Every individual has his own fitness level and I strongly believe we must do what works best for our bodies. Personally, I love to eat home-cooked meals whenever possible but my guilty pleasure is chips! Which is why you have seen me bingeing on them of late.

I understand, and truly appreciate your concern for my health, but I assure you that my fitness regimen has not gone for a toss (pun intended).

What’s changed? I’ve found my guilt-free timeout.

Yours sincerely,

Virat Kohli
