Veteran Indian pacer, Mohammed Shami, called the former Indian captain, Virat Kohli, as the fittest player inside the Indian Cricket Team. Though, he went on to say that there are other players in the team who also have high fitness levels such as Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja.
Shami also said that the fast bowlers are naturally strong and always have been. Few days ago, India’s premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, was asked who the fittest player inside the Indian team is. He called himself to be the fittest player as he is a fast bowler and has to be ready to bowl every game.
“Virat Kohli has always been kept at the top. But there are a lot of players in our Indian team who are considered to be the fittest. They have shown their skills and fitness. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja. Fast bowlers are always strong. Bowlers have always been strong. But if you look at batting, there are a lot of strong features,” Shami told Sports Tak.

Mohammed Shami is currently recovering from the ankle injury that has kept him sidelined from cricket after the impressive performances in the ODI World Cup in 2023. He has started bowling full tilt in the nets and is eyeing his comeback for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia after playing some Ranji games.
Talking of Virat Kohli, his fitness is nothing short of inspiring. You see him on the field, and it’s clear he’s not just playing cricket; he’s showcasing a regimen of intense workouts, yoga, and a strict diet. His agility, stamina, and explosive power are the result of the hard work and discipline over the years. Off the field, his commitment to fitness is evident in his lean physique and tireless energy. Kohli isn’t just an athlete but also a fitness icon for many.
