Virat Kohli made headlines on Monday morning when he declared his retirement from test cricket. Virat's athletic career and his commitment to physical fitness and wholesome eating are incredibly motivating.

As a foodie, he knows how to include cheat meals from the streets, his own kitchen, and his well-known restaurants, One 8 Commune, even though he has been eating mostly healthy food. These are the 7 must-know dishes that cricketer Virat Kohli loves.

Because of its rich, spicy flavour, Chole Bhature, a traditional North Indian dish, is one of Virat Kohli's favourite treats, especially on cheat days.
