The restrictions and lockdown have seen Virat Kohli being confined to his home since March. He was to lead Team India in the three ODIs against South Africa following the New Zealand tour but the fixtures were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A few cricketers resumed outdoor training after the government eased the restrictions. But Kohli hasn’t been able to hit the field. He lives in Maharashtra, the worst-hit state in the country.

The Indian skipper is keeping himself fit by attending gym sessions at his home. The 31-year-old is a fitness freak and pays extra attention to his fitness. Ahead of IPL 2020, Kohli has been training hard and recently shared yet another post after completing his fitness session.

Kohli’s new look hogged much limelight as he has grown a white beard. He did grow a heavy beard during the lockdown but its colour has turned white now. The Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper is expected to change his look before landing in Bengaluru. Check out his pic –
