“Virat Kohli is physically so fit, mentally very strong. He is so dedicated and he takes his work seriously, I like his work ethic,” said Salman on Star Sports.

Virat Kohli started his World Cup campaign with a match-winning 116-ball 85 runs against Australia helping his team to a nervy win. Another half-century was made against Afghanistan. But against Pakistan, he lost his wicket for 16 runs. He will be next seen on the field on October 19 during India versus Bangladesh.

Kohli has already won a World Cup, in 2011, and this year, he will try his best to ensure he and the team lift the coveted trophy again. It remains to be seen whether his fitness will help him appear in another ODI World Cup tournament in 2027.
