Based on recent reports, several key Indian cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Prasidh Krishna, have undergone the newly implemented Bronco test as part of their fitness assessments. While exact, individual scores are not publicly available for all players, some details have been reported.
The Bronco Test Explained 🏃♂️
The Bronco test is a continuous shuttle-running drill adopted from rugby. It's a grueling test of a player's aerobic endurance and speed. The test involves:
Running shuttles of 20m, 40m, and 60m.
Repeating this sequence five times.
Covering a total distance of 1,200 meters (1.2 km) without rest.
The goal is to complete the test in the shortest time possible. The benchmark for top-level Indian cricketers is reportedly set at around six minutes.
Reported Player Results
Rohit Sharma: Reports indicate that Rohit Sharma cleared his fitness tests, including the Bronco test, with ease. He is said to be in great shape despite a break from competitive cricket.
Shubman Gill: While specific scores for Gill have not been released, he is mentioned as one of the players who cleared his assessments without any issues. Experts have also suggested that his training methods make him well-suited to ace the Bronco test.
Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah, along with other key players, has cleared his fitness assessments. His fitness is being carefully managed, especially as he is a part of the team's upcoming Asia Cup squad.
Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh Krishna has been singled out as a standout performer. Reports suggest that his fitness scores were very impressive, even surpassing those of established fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
This new fitness benchmark is a way for the BCCI to ensure that centrally contracted players, especially fast bowlers who often struggle with injuries, maintain a high level of endurance and are capable of withstanding the physical demands.
