Virat has brought in a fitness revolution and has been one of the most fittest cricketers around the world. On being asked about what inspired him to take the fitness challenge, he answered, "My transformations came after a few tough tours when I saw the guys lasting on the field longer than us. From the team point of view things were not tough but convincing my mum was tough. She thought I was looking sick. I told her that the world is talking about my training methods and I am not sick. I felt that I was able to do things much better."

Virat will now be seen in the IPL 2025 as he will seek to end his IPL title drought. RCB haven't lifted the IPL title since the inception of the cash-rich tournament and under the leadership of Rajat Patidar they will finally hope to put an end to their misery.
