This 31 year old has been a superstar in Indian cricket from the time he made his debut for India during the series against Sri Lanka in 18 August 2008 , he often comes across as a rude and arrogant player on the field but not many know the other side of Virat which has made him a star what he is today .
How did the transition happen from being an angry young kid to a master of the game ?
“He is a changed man. When he came into the squad, he was like a Delhi boy, who would eat golgappas and all. Now he has totally changed. He has become very wise, he understands his body and he eats what his body needs. That is exactly what he is looking to do. And he has become vegetarian (vegan),”
Harbhajan told India Today.
Virat’s evolution as a player began when he started taking his fitness levels as seriously as he ever did . He even went on to become a vegan earlier this year . He knew that he was the next big thing in Indian cricket after years of successful performances in the domestic circuit as well as all over the world . The only way he could go on to play for a long time was if he changed his eating and training practices .
Its been 11 years since he first played for India , the stats itself are going to speak a lot about the greatness of this man
