Virat Kohli has been continuously playing cricket for the last few years. The only time he took a short break was when he had to travel to Italy for his wedding. Since then, he has been on the move constantly.

The unparalleled vigour which Kohli sports on the field also saps a lot of energy from his body. “I am a guy who likes to play with intensity. Once that is gone, I don't know what I am going to do on the field,” says a gallant Kohli.

In the opening match of this series, Kohli hurt his groin when his knee got stuck in the damp outfield while chasing the ball. Although the skipper is never short of energy, it would do him a world of good to take some time off prior to the T20 leg.
