Virat Kohli tweets photo of his Christmas treats, greets fans on eve of Boxing Day Test

Indian captain Virat Kohli is under pressure nowadays, not only because his team squandered the early lead they got against Australia in the ongoing Test series but also because his personal on-field conduct during the second Test in Perth came under stern scrutiny. Kohli’s run-scoring ability has not taken any hit though but it is the overall result in overseas tours which has not helped his track record as the captain. India have now lost seven of the 10 Tests they have played overseas this year while won only three.

However, despite the on-field pressure, the Indian captain did not forget to take out time to celebrate the Christmas Day on Tuesday. He tweeted a photo of himself holding a tray of cakes and cookies on the auspicious occasion and wished the fans Merry Christmas.

His tweet was liked over 15k times and retweeted over 1000 times. One fan even responded to his tweet asking him to send the sweets to him since he, being a fitness freak himself, would not consume them.
