‘It’s a shame if you are not fit as a captain’: Kapil Dev says overweight Rohit Sharma ‘needs to put some hard work on it’

[rangeelaraja]

Kapil Paaji, while you are at it and given your stature, why don't you speak up & question Virat's place in the side. 

 

Oh I get it, you won't, people will accuse you of playing on to break Hadlee's record when you were bowling as fast as Kumble.

 

Venky was right.   Kapil,Sunny etc..- yeh sab ek hi thaali ke chatte batte hain.

Rohit is as big as Kohli if not bigger (pun intended)

 

 

[LordPrabhzy]

He is not commenting on form... purely on fitness by which he is entitled to point out that our captain is fat and overweight which is not setting a good example when Kohli despite his age is has fit and toned in the same team.

[Texan]

Looking fit and being fit are two different things. We should not make judgements based on how they look. Rohit, Pant do look a little chubby but still I haven't seen it affect their game. Same with Sarfaraz Khan who looks fat, but still manages to score triple and double hundreds in domestic cricket. You need to be able to bat many sessions and run in order to do it. So, if it doesn't affect their game, then why question how they look?

 

While Kohli "looks" fit, is he really fit? He keeps dropping catches, many of them are dollies. Why isn't someone questioning that? Isn't fitness in cricketing skills more relevant to the functions these cricketers perform? In that context, Kohli is unfit due to the sheer volume of the catches he has dropped.

Fitness has no correlation with the fact that Rohit is batting and catching better than Rat and most of the team

not a valid comparison. Rohit is the best slip fielder we have had since Dravid-Laxman-Sehwag

[vvvslaxman]

May be he should take a look at woman's counter part

Its ok if he does not want to spend time in Gym.He just needs to quit playing for India.

Tennis star Simona Halep underwent a boob reduction surgery to be agile and move freely around the court. Maybe Rohit should do something like that.

When was the last time you saw him dive to take a catch? When was the last time you saw him take a spectacular catch on the boundary for e.g. where he jumped to save a 6, lobbed the ball back in, and complete the catch? When was the last time you saw him be quick to impact a run out (tends to field inside the circle)? 

 

Usually, the catches he takes are in the average zone where at most you stretch your hand and hope that the ball sticks.
