In a fun interview with Indian batsman Mayank Agarwal on ‘Open Nets with Mayank’ chat show uploaded on BCCI Twitter handle, Kohli was seen answering a few rapid-fire round questions. “What is your favourite quarantine story,” Mayank asked Kohli.

 

In his response, Kohli said, “I bake a cake for the first time in my life on Anushka’s birthday. That would be a standout quarantine story for me because I had never baked earlier.”

During the interaction, Kohli also revealed that Mayank Agarwal, Navdeep Saini and the skipper himself prepare the best protein shakes in the Indian team.
