Top 5 fittest players in IPL

A survey was conducted by a website called The Health Site to find the top 5 fittest players in the IPL from its readers. According to the survey results based on the votes, the top 5 fittest players in the IPL are as follows:

#5 Dale Steyn (6%)

Dale Steyn is one most aggressive fast bowlers in this era. The Sunrisers paceman generates the same amount of speed in slog overs that he generates in the opening overs.

He believes that stamina is very important for every paceman. By keeping himself away from injuries in recent times, he has taken 5th spot in the fittest players’ list.

#4 Mitchell Johnson (11%)

The Australian speedster has been super fit after returning from his career-threatening injury.

The Ashes hero has been able to produce threatening pace even after that injury. According to sources, he has trained with Australia’s Special Air Service Regiment, where his body has undergone a number of rigorous exercises. Mitchell Johnson occupies 4th place with 11% votes.

#3 MS Dhoni (13%)

The CSK Skipper bags the joint 2^nd place in the rankings. With a humongous responsibilities of captain, wicket-keeper and a batsman, he has maintained his fitness in a remarkable manner.

Mahi does more than 100 squats a day as a wicket-keeper and comes back as a batsman to hit a helicopter shot by producing enormous bottom hand power. Surely, with this credentials he deserves the 2nd place.

#2 Chris Gayle (13%)

The West Indian ‘Wonder Man’ is only behind his RCB skipper in the fitness ranking. The West Indian giant has been one of the fittest players ever to play cricket. Gayle has said that ‘working out’ in gym with equipments and ‘sweating out’ in nets with his bat has been his mantra to generate the venomous power with which he hits the ball down the ground. He may not be the most athletic on the field but when he is on song, he can rip the bowlers apart with his brute power.

However, this season, he hasn’t been 100% on the field, and his injury has pushed him to the second place along with MS Dhoni with 13% votes.

#1 Virat Kohli (42%)

Virat Kohli is ranked far ahead of his team mate Chris Gayle with 42% votes. Virat’s form in this IPL may not be convincing, but his fitness has always been top notch. Virat is not an injury prone player as he takes good care of his health. He has said that he loves gymming and eats a lot of proteins and carbos to complement his exercise regime. He has been voted as the fittest player in the most coveted cricket league in the world.
