He, reportedly, turned the INR 20-crore deal with Pepsi because he believes that it is not good for health. The Indian captain also said that he doesn’t consume such things and won’t urge others to consume it just because he is getting money.

“When I started my fitness turnaround, it was more of a lifestyle thing initially. If something goes away from that, I would not want to be a part of that or be promoting that,” Virat Kohli had told CNN-IBN. 

“If I myself won’t consume such things, I won’t urge others to consume it just because I’m getting money out of it,” he added.
