Suryakumar Yadav Urged to Channel Kohli's Fitness Secrets

Suryakumar Yadav is in a fitness pickle, and Sanjay Manjrekar isn't holding back. The former batter believes if SK wants to resurrect his form, he needs to take a page out of Virat Kohli's fitness playbook. At 35, Yadav's recent IPL stats are alarming—195 runs in 10 matches, averaging below 20. That’s not the SKY we know and love.

Manjrekar pointed out that when Yadav burst onto the scene, his unique shots and agility set him apart. Now, his physicality seems to be dragging him down. "If you don’t take care of your fitness, this game will expose you," he warned. With Rohit Sharma also struggling, it’s clear that fitness isn’t just a personal challenge; it’s a team-wide concern.

The pressure is on Yadav to revamp his approach. Manjrekar firmly believes that focusing on fitness could simplify his game, allowing his natural talent to shine through once more. With Kohli thriving, will Yadav heed this advice and turn his IPL horror show into a comeback tale?
