Indian cricket team has been paying extra attention on their fitness standard over the years.
There's no leniency when it comes to fitness in Indian cricket and the players need to maintain the standard irrespective of their cricketing skills. With the competition getting tougher around the world, players need to pull up their shocks in every aspect of the game.
As reported by Sports Tak, Indian cricketers have to follow a strict diet plan which will exclude pork and beef in any form. The players are allowed to have meat but it should be only in halal form.
The decision has been taken to keep the players fit and healthy ahead of important series. The dietary plan will ensure that the cricketers don't add up unnecessary weight which could affect their on-field performance.
With bio-bubbles playing a big role in the mental aspect of the game, a healthy diet is much needed to maintain the same intensity. Some of the players are also regularly featuring in all three formats of the game and they need to be careful with their intakes.
Currently, Team India is playing a T20I series against New Zealand which they have won by 2-0 with one more match to go. India has been in non-stop action since the United Kingdom tour earlier this year.
After playing the ICC World Test Championship final, they played four Test matches in England, followed by the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 second-phase and T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE.
