Team India captain Virat Kohli faced the wrath of trolls after he claimed to be a vegetarian on Tuesday. Kohli is one of the fittest cricketers in modern-day cricket and he motivates many to work on their fitness. In the past couple of years, it was reported that the Indian skipper has become vegan to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
However, during a recent Q&A session on Instagram, Kohli revealed his quarantine diet chart – “Lots of vegetables, some eggs, 2 cups of Coffee, quinoa, lots of spinach, love dosas too. But all in controlled quantities.”
The fans noticed ‘eggs’ in the diet and started trolling Kohli to which the 32-year-old issued a statement on Twitter where he said that never claimed to be vegan and referred to himself as a vegetarian.
“I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I’m vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want ),” Kohli tweeted.
I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I’m vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want 😉)💪😂✌️

Exactly 😂 ‘Sunday ho ya Monday Roz khao andey’. This debate is pointless though, Egg can never be vegetarian & Virat’s diet shouldn’t matter as long as he performs and we don’t buy his propaganda.
