When it comes to fitness, cricketers have to take a lot of consideration in that matter to maintain their stint in the team along all three formats. They have to take proper care of their fitness level so that it does not lead to any constraints. Speaking about Indian cricketers, they are world renowned for their dedication to fitness and maintenance of their physique. India’s Strength and Conditioning Coach of BCCI Ankit Kaliyar remarked that Virat Kohli is probably the person who led the fitness revolution in Team India and that he himself is the fittest cricketer in the team and the world.
Kohli the fittest among all
While speaking about Virat Kohli’s fitness, Kaliyar heaped praise on the 35-year old cricketer and said that he is the one who started the fitness trend in India that had a ripple effect on his teammates as well. Remarking that he created a fitness culture in the team that probably motivated others to be fit, he is the fittest cricketer of India.
“Virat Kohli is the fittest player in the Indian team and the world. The reason behind that is that he’s following a strict schedule. Whether he’s playing or not, he follows or takes care of his nutrition, training, supplementation and conditioning part really well.”
About Rohit Sharma’s fitness
The Coach also remarked that Rohit Sharma is probably another cricketer who is as fit as Kohli despite having a little bulky physique. He remarked “Rohit Sharma is a fit player and he has good fitness. He looks a bit bulky, but he always passes the Yo-Yo test. He is as fit as Virat Kohli. He looks like he is bulky but we have seen him on the field. His mobility and agility is amazing. He is among the fitness cricketers.”
