Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is regarded as one of the fittest cricketers in modern day. Hailed for his incredible batting attributes, Kohli showcased his elite fitness standards on Wednesday, as he passed the challenging Yo-Yo test with flying colours before the Asia Cup 2023.
Yo-Yo test is a running aerobic fitness test, in which the players must run between markers placed 20 metres apart at increasing speeds. It's a tricky test and only players with commendable fitness standards can clear it.
So, as the Indian team assembled in the preparatory camp in Alur, the players underwent the Yo-Yo test to prove their fitness ahead of the marquee event.
Notably, a player has to score a minimum 16.5 to be considered for national selection. After passing the test with distinction, Kohli shared his score, 17.2, on Instagram with a caption,
"The happiness of finishing the yo-yo test between the dreaded cones. 17.2 done."
Regarded as one of the finest batters to grace the game, Kohli will play a pivotal role for India in the Asia Cup 2023. The stylish right-hander is all set to bat at number three and will be tasked to ensure a solid start for India in the showpiece event.
