Former India football captain Sunil Chhetri has dropped a massive hint on Virat Kohli's fitness update.
A few days ago, it was reported that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had arranged a fitness test for Virat Kohli in London.
Chhetri confirmed the fitness test on the "Desi Premier League Podcast."

"It is so addictive, and it is so good to know these kinds of people. On your bad days when you feel a bit lethargic, you see them and think, ‘let’s go’.
"When you are at the top, everyone wants to be a Virat Kohli or Ronaldo, and for these two to keep their place is unbelievable."
Chhetri also compared Kohli with Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I don’t know Ronaldo personally. I have watched him, studied him. I know Virat. The one common thing about these two is that they are just not happy with what they have already achieved," said Chhetri.
"I tried in my own way to inculcate the same thing because once you start getting into that circle where you start thinking about what you have done, good or bad, then you are not on the same track that you want to be.
"Whatever happened today, gaya (it is over). Otherwise, how does a Virat Kohli or Ronaldo get up and again be at their best? It is not easy.
"When you are successful for so long, when you have done so much, when you have won almost everything, to still get up and do what they are doing is unbelievable," he added.
