Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli is not the one to shy away from a challenge. A day after Union Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore gave him a #FitnessChallenge, Kohli not only completed it but also nominated Prime Minister Narendra Modi to undertake it.
Known for his fitness and stamina, Kohli in a video message said that he accepted the minister’s challenge and went on to do twenty spider planks, which he called his “core exercise.”
I have accepted the #FitnessChallenge by @ra_THORe sir. Now I would like to challenge my wife @AnushkaSharma , our PM @narendramodi ji and @msdhoni Bhai for the same. 😀 #HumFitTohIndiaFit #ComeOutAndPlay pic.twitter.com/e9BAToE6bg

Kohli also nominated his wife Anushka Sharma, and ‘Captain Cool’ Mahendra Singh Dhoni, along with PM Modi to undertake the #FitnessChallenge.
Rathore on Tuesday, 22 May, urged the country to take on a #FitnessChallenge under the #HumFitTohIndiaFit campaign. He posted a video on Twitter, even showing how it is done.
Not just that, the minister threw the challenge to cricketer Virat Kohli, actor Hrithik Roshan, and badminton champ Saina Nehwal – and all of them took up the challenge.
