Team India captain Virat Kohli opened up on his quarantine life in the conversation with teammate Mayank Agarwal. The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Sunday posted a short clip of the second part of the conversation between Kohli and Mayank of Open Nets With Mayank.
With the rising COVID-19 cases in the country, Indian cricketers have had to be content with staying at home and keeping themselves busy by engaging with fans on social media.
Mayank quizzed Kohli in a rapid-fire round and the India captain gave answers with honesty in his own inimitable style.
The Indian opener started off by asking Kohli: "What is your best quarantine story?"
"I baked a cake for the first time in my life on Anushka's birthday. So, will be a standout quarantine story for me because I hadn't baked a cake before in my life," Kohli said.
"And I baked a good cake in my first attempt. So I will always remember that and she told me she loved the cake, which is very very special."
Mayank then asked: "A new skill-set you found during quarantine?"
"I wouldn't say skill-set because skill-set is something you can learn as a hobby as well as while on tour. Those are the things that you can," the 31-year-old said.
"But this phase has made me realise is that it is very important to focus on life in general and then cricket is a part of it."
Mayank asked a tricky question to Kohli next question: "One work-out routine that Virat Kohli doesn't like to do and one which he likes?"
"I hate doing split squat holds, especially the ones which go over a minute and a half. The second exercise I hate is Bulgarian squat holds with heavier dumbbells," he said.
"And the one that I can't live without is power snatch. Cleans and power snatch I can do everyday of the week, for an hour non-stop, and will be absolutely fine."
Agarwal also asked Kohli's regarding his go-to recipe and Kohli quipped: "Go-to recipe is steamed rice and 'lahsuni palak' along with bhindi (ladyfinger)."
