Agarwal stated off by asking Kohli: "What is your best quarantine story?"
"I baked a cake for the first time in my life on Anushka's birthday. So, will be a standout quarantine story for me because I hadn't baked a cake before in my life," Kohli said.
"And I baked a good cake in my first attempt. So I will always remember that and she told me she loved the cake, which is very very special."
Agarwal then asked: "A new skill-set you found during quarantine?"
"I wouldn't say skill-set because skill-set is something you can learn as a hobby as well as while on tour. Those are the things that you can," the 31-year-old said.
"But this phase has made me realise is that it is very important to focus on life in general and then cricket is a part of it."
Agarwal's next question was: "One work-out routine that Virat Kohli doesn't like to do and one which he likes?"
"I hate doing split squat holds, especially the ones which go over a minute and a half. The second exercise I hate is Bulgarian squat holds with heavier dumbbells," he said.
"And the one that I can't live without is power snatch. Cleans and power snatch I can do everyday of the week, for an hour non-stop, and will be absolutely fine."
Agarwal also asked Kohli's regarding his go-to recipe and Kohli quipped: "Go-to recipe is steamed rice and 'lahsuni palak' along with bhindi (ladyfinger)."
