Five Indian Cricketers Who Are As Fit As Their Partners

Cricket these days has become a professional sport where physically fit players sustain for a longer period of time. In the early 20s, players didn't give a lot of importance to fitness. Pacers, though, still had to maintain themselves to be able to bowl fast in Test cricket. At that time, players only played two formats - Tests and ODIs. Now they play T20I format and also T20 league across the globe.
