“He appears heavy, but…” The strength and conditioning coach for India discusses Rohit Sharma’s level of fitness

Questions about Rohit Sharma’s fitness have always been raised since many people have said that he is not fit enough. Maybe, ‘reportedly’ on many occasions, the captain of India failed the yo-yo test. Ankit Kaliyar, India’s strength and conditioning coach, has disproved all the ideas and rumors about Rohit’s fitness, nevertheless.

He says the captain of India is just as fit as Virat Kohli. Ankit makes a significant claim here, considering that Kohli is among the sport’s most physically fit players ever. Although Ankit acknowledged that Rohit sometimes had a hefty appearance, he said this had nothing to do with Rohit’s general level of fitness.

“A fit player, Rohit Sharma is. He is in excellent physical shape. Though he seems a little big, he consistently passes the Yo-Yo test. As fit as Virat Kohli, he is. Despite his big appearance, we have seen him play. His movement and agility are incredible. “He is one of the most physically fit cricket players,” he told the Times of India. In addition, Virat Kohli’s efforts to establish a culture of fitness among the squad during his time as captain were recognized by Kaliyar, who also attributed the current Indian team’s high level of fitness to the previous captain.

“Virat is a model citizen in terms of physical fitness. The squad now has a culture of fitness thanks to him. You set an example for others when your best player is in such good shape. He gives people confidence. He kept everyone in shape while serving as captain. Among the team, his primary concern was fitness. He established the team’s discipline and culture. Amazingly, Virat Bhai was able to create such a mood. Ankit said, “He is the reason why every Indian player is in such good shape.

Since India’s devastating World Cup loss to Australia on November 19, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have now taken a hiatus from the game of cricket. Beginning on December 26, they will be back on the field for the away Test series against South Africa.
