Don't they do Yo-Yo fitness test of Indian players anymore?

[Austin 3:!6]

Though cricket don't require you to become a supreme athlete like NBA players but watching likes of Rohit & Pant in television makes you cringe.

 

How can international players getting paid in millions have such shockingly fat body? Especially Pant who is just 22 years old. It is such a bad advertisement for Indian cricket.

You need basic fitness in any sports. Privileged guys like them with all facilities & diet options should at least maintain a healthy weight.

 

I will be very surprised if Pant & Rohit is not borderline obese in BMI scale. That is just sad

Do you have access to any actual facts - their fitness test results, BMI, yo-yo performances, sprinting speed measures?

 

Or are you going solely based on the curve of his t-shirt on your TV or web stream?  

 

I will agree that Rohit of late has definitely lost a step on the fielding front, that can be attributed to his 'mass'.  But Pant?  I have yet to see him display any non-appearance based indicator for his fitness levels.  

 

Body shapes are different in humans - Don't get brainwashed by steroid-pumped WWE, or what you see in photoshopped and edited media.  Fitness is not something that can be decisively judged based on body shapes alone.
