Virat Kohli is leaving no stones unturned to remain fully fit ahead of India’s lengthy tour of England. Kohli on Tuesday posted pictures from his workout session on social media that read and said, “Today’s session included a lot of band work for lower body strengthening; including lateral band walk, monster walk and then striding a distance of 80 meters x 12 repetitions at speed of 16km/hr on treadmill. 15 second break between each stride and completing 2 sets of 12.”
Kohli was scheduled to fly to England in June to play for County side Surrey but the right-hander was ruled out after suffering a neck injury during the Indian Premier League.
