‘I had to cut down on meat and now I feel better than ever’ – Virat Kohli reveals why he became a vegetarian
In an old interview, Virat Kohli said that he became a vegetarian after facing issues with his health during India’s tour of South Africa in 2018. He said:
“I had a problem with my cervical spine which resulted in a tingling sensation in my little finger which made it hard for me to hit. It happened around the Centurion Test in South Africa in 2018.”
he added:
Moreover, my stomach became a little acidic, uric acid rose, and my stomach began to pull calcium from the bones, which led to a problem with my spine. Consequently, I had to cut back on meat and now feel better than ever.”
