Lauding Virat Kohli for 'setting a benchmark' in fitness, Indian men's team chief selector Ajit Agarkar said the star batter's fitness habits, which consist of strict diet and fitness regimes, have progressed to the younger generation of players.

Virat is currently participating in the IPL 2024, representing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With the T20 World Cup starting from June 1 onwards, this tournament is his chance to prove that his slightly more conservative approach to T20 cricket, which mixes aggressive hitting with anchoring skills, is still a great model to follow these days when batters are going big from ball one.
