New Delhi: India Test captain and toast of nation Virat Kohli thinks he can fly. And rightly so, the 27-year-old on Friday shared a picture of himself parallel to the ground.

The gravity defying act was performed during one of Team India's practice sessions, and the skipper shared the photo on social media.

He wrote, "I believe I can fly! Throwback to one of the many practice sessions #LoveWhatIDo."

Interestingly, this very phrase has been used as the title of many a hit songs, including those of R Kelly, Yolanda Adams, Ronan Keating etc. That sure gives Kohli's claim or rather empowering wish a poetic touch.

Kohli, 27, is considered one of the fittest athletes in the world, and a live wire on the ground.

After helping India to a series whitewash over New Zealand in the three-match Test series, Kohli will lead the national team against England. The first of the five-match series will start on Wednesday at Rajkot.
