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

2. Mayank Dagar (19.4 points)

The last two names, or rather the two fittest Indian cricketers, can surprise many, as they are relatively unknown and have not played for the Indian team at the highest level. Mayank Dagar is the second fittest cricketer from India according to the yo-yo tests. The 26-year-old has registered the highest yo-yo test score of 19.3 points. Dagar underwent the test while playing for his domestic team.  

The Delhi-born athlete has not played an international match for India yet. But the fitness of the Himachal Pradesh cricketer is known to many. As a batter, Dagar is usually an anchor who can control the innings by holding one end up. The right-handed batter is usually regarded as a slow batter suitable for batting in the middle order. Dagar is a capable bowler and bowls left-arm orthodox spin.   

Dagar represented India in the under-19 World Cup in 2016. In the tournament, Dagar was the highest wicket-taker in India. In 4 matches, Dagar claimed 11 wickets at a bowling average of just 9.36, at a bowling strike rate of 19.4, at a sensational economy of just 2.88. In the Indian Premier League, Dagar has been a part of franchises like Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
