'He is fat but..' Team India veteran gives controversial statement on Rohit Sharma's fitness, fans will be shocked to hear this
Rohit Sharma: Team India players have paid a lot of attention to their fitness in the last few years. Questions have always been raised on the fitness of Rohit Sharma. The captain of Team India often gets trolled about his fitness. Many times there have been reports that he has not even passed the Yo-Yo test. But now the team's strength and conditioning coach Ankit Kaliyar has put an end to all the rumors going on about Rohit's fitness and has completely rejected the talks about his being unfit.
Rohit Sharma is a fit player
Today's players are fitter than ever before. Ankit Katiyar is the strength and conditioning coach of Team India. He said about the fitness of Rohit Sharma in an interview given to Times of India.
“Rohit Sharma is a fit player. His fitness is good. He looks a bit heavy but he always passes the yo-yo test. He is fit like Virat Kohli. He seems like he is heavy but we have seen him on the field. His mobility is amazing. He is one of the fittest cricketers.”
“Virat is a great example when it comes to fitness. He has created a culture of fitness in the team. When your top player is so fit, you become an example for others. He inspires confidence in others. When he was the captain he made sure that everyone remained fit. Fitness was his top parameter in the team. The atmosphere created by Virat Bhai is praiseworthy. This is the reason why all the Indian players are so fit.”
Rohit-Kohli are currently away from cricket
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are away from cricket at present. Both will now be seen directly in the test series against South Africa. The first match of the Test series will be played from 26 December. Both the batsmen batted very well in the World Cup 2023. But could not make the team win in the final. Let us tell you that T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be organized in June next year. In such a situation, there was doubt over the playing of both the players.
