Top 5 Fittest Indian Cricketers and their Highest Yo-Yo Test Scores

3. Manish Pandey (19.2 points)

Back in time, Manish Pandey was popular for being the fittest Indian cricketer. Around 2018, India had conducted the yo-yo test of the players. The outcome of the test was shocking, as a player had surpassed the then-Indian captain Virat Kohli in the fitness test. Manish was that cricketer. It shows how fit the 33-year-old is. Many a time, Pandey’s fitness is visible on the cricket field.  

The Nainital-born cricketer is one of the most committed athletes in Indian cricket. Many rate him the best fielder of the Indian team over the likes of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. There are hardly any instances where Pandey could not catch a ball or not stop a ball travelling towards the boundary ropes. It is a testimony to the fact that Pandey is such a great fielder in world cricket.   

The right-handed batter is also well known for his running between the wickets. In domestic cricket, Pandey has scored a lot of runs at a quick rate due to his ability to score runs from the boundaries and by running between the wickets. As a batter, Pandey always tried to minimize the number of dot balls. The Karnataka cricketer has registered the highest yo-yo test score of 19.2 points.
