India's death over specialist Jasprit Bumrah on Friday took to Twitter and uploaded a picture of his toned body and captioned it, "It takes dedication and hard work to consistently improve yourself.
No sooner did he upload the photo, Twitterati, in awe of his transformation, flooded his comments section and hailed the Indian pacer's new avatar. The Indian cricket team's trainer Shankar Basu, shortly after making his way back in the team, raised the fitness levels, courtesy his brain-child, the Yo-Yo test.
With the 2019 World Cup already in mind, the Indian selectors have made fitness mandatory other than good form to make ones place in the team.

Bumrah's transformation is certainly a testimony of the raising standards of fitness among the Indian cricketers. Team India trainer, Shankar Basu, has always emphasized the importance of fitness.
With captain Kohli paving the way for fitness and agility on-field, other cricketers have also started to spend more time in the gym to keep their fitness level in prime condition.
Strength grows in the moments when you think you can't go on but you keep going anyway. Good session at the gym today. #stayfit #RaiseTheBar 💪💪🏋️♂️ pic.twitter.com/iSItrnc79O

Prior to this, Bumrah had also uploaded a video of him lifting weights.
India is currently hosting Sri Lanka for a three-Test series with the first rain-hit match being played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
After only 21 overs of play possible on the second day of the first Test at Eden Gardens, India will look to build momentum in the third.
