Cricketer Virat Kohli, who had earlier revealed that he has turned vegetarian (and vegan), in a recent Instagram chat revealed he has eggs in his diet.
Kohli, who is currently quarantined in a hotel in Mumbai with team India, held an ‘AMA’ (ask me anything) session on Instagram. One fan asked him about his diet. In that, he revealed he eats lots of vegetables, some eggs, 2 cups of coffee, daal, quinoa, spinach and dosas, but all in controlled quantity.
In October 2019, Kohli had revealed that he has turned vegetarian and never felt better as an athlete.

Soon after this revelation, netizens were quite amused at the vegan Kohli consuming eggs.

Earlier in March, when the Indian cricket captain was in Ahmedabad for India vs England T20I series, Kohli had consumed organic egg preparations. This contradicts his claims that he had turned vegan.
