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

1. Ahmed Banday (19.4 points)

Probably the most unexpected name on the list is Ahmed Banday. A lot of fans would not even know the name of this player. But Ahmed Banday is the fittest Indian cricketer according to the yo-yo test scores. The cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir is known for his amazing fitness levels. The 28-year-old has not played a match for India. Neither has he been picked by an IPL franchise.  

Banday has played most of his cricket for the domestic team, Jammu and Kashmir. In first-class cricket, the right-handed batter has played 21 matches and scored 938 runs, at a batting average of 26.1, at a batting strike rate of 51.3. In List A cricket, Banday has 896 runs from 34 matches at a batting average of 27.1, at a batting strike rate of 76.7.   

The Srinagar-born cricketer has been playing for Jammu and Kashmir since 2013. In T20 cricket, Banday has played 14 matches and scored 140 runs at a batting average of 10.00, at a batting strike rate of 96.5. The statistics of the cricketer has not been that great. But the fitness of Banday is laudable. The Jammu and Kashmir cricketer has registered the highest yo-yo test score of 19.4 points.
