Episode 15 Yo Yo Fitness Test

Published: March 22, 2021, 12:13 p.m.

Survival of the fittest - A term made famous in the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, suggested that organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful in surviving.

Now put that in the context of the recently concluded T20i series between India and England -

1. Did the fittest team thrive?

2. Are Ishan Kishan and SKY most suited to the T20 environment?

3. Can Gabbar and Ash evolve to stage a come-back into this side?

In addition to this, the Beardos look at the modern-day fitness tests in sports. It’s debatable whether the Yo-yo fitness test should be a primary criterion for selection in Cricket, after-all why would you expect cricketers to rap like Honey Singh??

All this and much much more…on this week’s lean, mean episode!!!
