4. Glenn Maxwell
The Australian all-rounder is another player who tends to make things happen when he is on the field - be it with the bat or on the field. He is a supreme athlete who loves to put in the hard yards, and his ability to easily put his body on the line makes him a valuable part of any team. Apart from his game-changing abilities with the bat, his direct hits from the deep or herculean catches have turned matches on their heads.
3. Ravindra Jadeja
Many consider Ravindra Jadeja to be the best fielder of the modern generation. He has transformed himself into an all-format player for India and often enthralls fans with some acrobatic moments on the field. Rapid across the turf, his speed is something that leaves even the best stranded and finding themselves walking back to the pavilion.
2. Jonny Bairstow
As per reports, the Yorkshireman has a Yo-Yo test score of 21.8. His score is an underlining factor of his fitness, which is almost always an indication of how he goes about his cricket. A swift runner between wickets, he is brilliant even on the field while not keeping, and has taken quite a few spectacular catches. One of the best openers in limited-overs cricket, much of Bairstow's success can be attributed to his fitness.
1. Virat Kohli
As far as prioritizing the fitness regimen is concerned, Indian captain Virat Kohli has been heralded for transforming the Indian team through fitness methods. He leads by example, trains like a man possessed and this has been passed on to the team. As someone who is very particular about his diet and training, Kohli is certainly the fittest cricketer in the world right now.
