    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Oct 23:<\/strong>&nbsp;Virat Kohli has been India&#39;s batting mainstay ever since he announced himself on the international stage. When he made his international debut in 2008, Kohli was a chubby-faced youngster. However, those days are far behind him as his remarkable fitness transformation is there for everyone to see.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not only has he become fitter with advancing age, he has brought a fitness culture within the team itself and has inspired almost every member to become more agile and strong.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The linchpin of Indian batting, Kohli -- who now leads the side in all the three formats -- turned vegan last year. The 30-year-old believes that turning vegetarian has helped him immensely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Wednesday after watching Netflix&#39;s documentary Game Changers, Kohli tweeted: &quot;Saw game changers on Netflix. Being a vegetarian athlete has made me realise what I have believed all these years regarding diet was a myth. What an amazing documentary and yes I&#39;ve never felt better in my life after I turned vegetarian.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Game Changers is a 2018 documentary produced by James Cameron, Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger about the benefits of plant-based eating for athletes. The documentary follows former UFC fighter James Wilks who, while recovering from an injury, travels the world and talks with elite athletes who follow plant-based diets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli, during the just-concluded three-Test series against South Africa, became the first Indian batsman to smash seven double hundreds in red-ball cricket.<\/p>\r\n",
