Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is known as a dedicated customer when it comes to his cricket. The right-handed batsman is regarded as one of the most successful batsmen in the world for a reason. When he steps on to the field, Kohli always puts on a challenge for the opposition team’s bowlers, and always strives to give his best. But to be the best, you have to sweat it out at the nets first.
This is what Kohli is doing in the UAE ahead of the start of Indian Premier League 2020, which kicks off from September 19th. RCB have been training for the past week after completing all their bio-secure protocols, and on Thursday, the India captain shared three photos to reveal his training mantra.
“Proper session + proper humidity + great recovery = *happy smiley face*,” Kohli captioned his post.
Meanwhile, speaking on RCB’s Youtube chat show ‘Bold Diaries’ last week, Kohli had said that he felt nervous when he first returned to training because it had been a while he had picked his bat.

“I felt a bit jittery but things were okay. I didn’t miss the game as much as I though I might...just carrying on with life was also important,” Kohli added.
Kohli credited the side’s support staff, led by Team Director Mike Hesson, for making everyone understand what’s at stake and at the same time, not put them under pressure.”Culture will not change for any individual preferences,” he said.
Kohli-led RCB will look to win their first IPL title this year in the UAE.
