Indian cricket team management has raised their fitness standard and has asked the newcomers to pass the fitness and endurance test to get picked.
Even veterans like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina were not picked in the team because of the fitness issues. The fitness is so key that players post on social media after passing the Yo-Yo Test.
While Indian players push their limit to stay fit, Indian supporting staff was spotted with big bellies. Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli tweeted the picture and made fun of them.
Head Coach Ravi Shastri can be seen talking to others in the support staff and Kambli pulled his leg posting the picture. “This coach really needs Fitness????????????????????????????????????,” he wrote.

The response to his tweet was also hilarious and fans didn't hesitate to take a dig at the staffs. "Hahahaha ...yes for sure ...fire all three coaches. Sir one question, who is this Sridhar ? Was he India’s best fielder ? How can he be fielding coach and what he must be teaching to boys ?", wrote a fan named Rohit.
