Fittest Indian cricketer revealed by Bumrah and it is not Virat Kohli

Srinagar: Team India pace ace Jasprit Bumrah has stunned everyone by naming the fittest Indian Cricketer and to the surprise of everyone it is not Virat Kohli.

Bumrah chose to name himself as the fittest player in the entire squad.

At the event, when asked about the fittest player in Team India, Bumrah’s answer was unexpected as he placed himself ahead of Kohli.

“I know the answer that you are searching for but I would like to say my name because I am a fast bowler. I have been playing for a while, so you know, being a fast bowler and playing in this country in the heat takes a lot of requirements. So, I will always promote fast bowlers and I will always take a fast bowler’s name,” Bumrah said in the event.

Although Bumrah did not mention Kohli by name, Kohli will always remain an inspiration in terms of fitness for the next generation of cricketers. Under his captaincy, he introduced a fitness culture within the Indian team and played a key role in overcoming fitness barriers.

During his tenure as captain, Kohli made the Yo-Yo test mandatory and prioritised fitness as the top concern for the players. As a result, the team’s players placed greater emphasis on fitness, which ultimately raised the overall standards of the squad.
