‘Virat Kohli Lauding Our Fitness Means A Lot To Hockey Community,’ Say Harmanpreet, Manpreet And Hardik
RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports: Praise from one of the world’s most celebrated athletes has struck a special chord with Indian hockey players. Virat Kohli, the legendary Indian cricketer and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stalwart, highlighted the extraordinary fitness standards of Indian hockey players, acknowledging the physical demands of the sport and calling attention to an often-underappreciated aspect of hockey.
During the third edition of the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit on Tuesday, Kohli shared his thoughts on the importance of fitness in sport and stated, “I know people sometimes look at fitness as something extraordinary, but for me it’s simply what the job demands. It should be the norm, not something celebrated as special. Cricket is in such prime focus in our country that we often overlook other sports.”
“If I’m being brutally honest, we are not even 15% of the fitness of an Indian hockey player. If the hockey players watch our training sessions, they’d probably laugh because their sport demands far more, physically,” he added.
