    "editor1": "<p>Virat Kohli, whose football skills are no secret, displayed his ability to hit perfect free-kicks on social media in an accidental crossbar challenge. The India skipper struck a pile-driver from outside the box and struck crossbar as the goalkeeper stretched to stop it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 32-year-old covered his face in his palms in disbelief soon after.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Accidental crossbar challenge <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/koeSSKGQeb\">pic.twitter.com\/koeSSKGQeb<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imVkohli\/status\/1397195788523016209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>Raj Kumar Sharma, who groomed Kohli in his junior days, told IANS on Wednesday, &quot;He was always a good and competitive football player. I remember when we used to warm up ahead of practice at our academy, Kohli would prefer football over running around the field. Even though it used to be warm-up, Kohli would be extremely competitive and try and win.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli, who is among the best batsmen in the world and is just six centuries short of Sachin Tendulkar&#39;s record 49 ODI tons, seems to be an icon for even some of Indian football players due to his supreme fitness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Post 2015-16, I took it (fitness) extremely seriously -- that&#39;s when the realisation crept in. I read about how Virat Kohli approaches his fitness, his training regime, diet, and how he never ever goes against the roadmap laid down by his personal trainer,&quot; said India football team defender Pritam Kotal on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n",
