Bangladesh's legendary cricketer Tamim Iqbal has no hesitation in admitting that Virat Kohli-led Indian team's attitude towards fitness has affected his country's players.
The left-handed opener told ESPN Podcast, 'India is our neighbor and I think we follow many things of India. The attitude of Indian cricketers towards fitness has affected the players of Bangladesh the most.
Tamim said that he and Kohli are same but even after this Kohli's attitude towards fitness has inspired him a lot. He said, 'I have no shame in telling this. To be honest, I used to feel embarrassed whenever I saw Virat Kohli working hard and running in the gym two or three years ago.
He said, “I used to think that a player of my age is working so hard even after achieving success and I am not even doing half of it.”
