At the currently-running Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE, Virat Kohli is gradually regaining his rhythm. He contributed significantly to a frantic chase against Pakistan in India’s tournament opener, and then he hit his first fifty since February of this year to build the groundwork for what ultimately proved to be a match-winning total against Hong Kong.
After the England tour, Kohli took a sabbatical from cricket, and he subsequently admitted that he didn’t pick up a bat during that period. He claimed to be back and to be mentally sharp right now.

Kohli’s unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards of his fitness level is demonstrated by a video of him running while donning a special “altitude mask” that has been shared on YouTube. The 33-year-old was spotted running in Dubai’s oppressive temperature while wearing the mask, which is intended to slow down breathing to a level similar to what is experienced at higher elevations (mountains etc).
Following Kohli’s completion of his batting practise in the nets, this was seen runing in wearing the mask. During the workout, Kohli tested his endurance while timing himself and being assisted by a member of the Indian team support staff.
