- Michael Vaughan compared Virat Kohli to Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday on a Cricbuzz show, pointing to elite self‑care as the shared trait.
- Vaughan said Kohli’s routine likely includes ice baths, cryotherapy, no alcohol, and a strict diet, which he believes can add two to three peak years.
- Kohli has 542 runs in 13 IPL 2026 matches at a 164.74 strike rate with an average near 55, marking his fastest scoring season since his debut.
- His season features an unbeaten century against Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur, and he trails Orange Cap leader Sai Sudharsan by 12 runs, the award for the tournament’s top run‑scorer.
- At 37, Kohli’s form is driving Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bid for a second straight title, reinforcing confidence in his staying power.
