Yo-Yo Test is now a compulsory constraint to book a berth in the Indian squad. Ambati Rayudu, Sanju Samson and other notable cricketers failed to represent the side as they were unable to clear the same. Even the coach and the skipper had said in an interview that its a “must” as the player should be conscious of his fitness levels.

The current benchmark to clear the test is 16.1. Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey are now the stalwarts in this test as they achieved a personal best of 19. But if you think this test is just for cricket, then you are wrong.
