India are currently in a 21-day lockdown and athletes are trying their best to spread awareness through their social media. Even some of them also come online and interact with fans as well. India captain Virat Kohli is no less. Recently while speaking to former England batsman and IPL teammate Kevin Pietersen during an Instagram live session, he shared many things including his favourite batting partner.

"I enjoy batting with those who can run fast with me. So it has to be MS when we play for India together and AB when we play in the IPL for RCB. We don't even talk while we are batting," he said.

He also spoke about his food habit. Ohli has turned into veg for two years now and he revealed the reason as well. Earlier he told this transformation has helped him become stronger as well.

Virat Kohli shared, "In 2018, during the tour of South Africa, I got a cervical spine issue. I could barely feel my little finger and I couldn't sleep as the body was acidic, my stomach started pulling calcium from my bones and my bones got weaker. I cut down uric acid from my body and I left meat. That is the best decision I have made in my life. I have never felt better waking up. Now I can play 3 games a week and can recover within a day after a Test match and go on another."

India captain further said that his favourite format is Test cricket and considers England tour in 2014 was the lowest point in his career. India failed to do well at that time. However, from that to today, lots of changes have taken place and India are considered as one of the best teams in the world now.

He also shared the secret of his nickname Chiku. He got the nickname from a coach in the Ranji Trophy when he used to have big cheeks then. In 2007, he got his hair cropped and his cheeks and ears stood out. He got the name from a cartoon character - the rabbit in the comic book Champak. And the rest was done by MS Dhoni who made this famous from behind the stumps.
