Kohli is one of the fittest athletes in the world. The 34-year-old recently shared his Yo-Yo test score on his Instagram account and noted it to be 17.2. According to reports, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has set a minimum benchmark of 16.5 yo-yo score from players.
Meanwhile, BCCI has issued a verbal warning to Indian players after Kohli disclosed his Yo-Yo test score on social media which is considered as ‘confidential information.’
“Players have been informed verbally to avoid posting any confidential matter on social media platforms. They can post pictures while training but posting a score leads to breach of contract clause,” a BCCI official was quoted by the Indian Express.
