Indian sports minister started the fitness challenge a month ago and it went viral across the social media. While several people have responded to his challenge, there is another one trending one in the social media and it is started by none other than the little master himself.
Sachin Tendulkar started a new challenge by the name “KitUpChallenge” to display the sportsmanship of an athlete and how the game has played an integral part in shaping the career.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli is the first to respond to this one. In his Instagram account, Virat posted a video of him getting geared up before making his move to the crease. He was seen putting the left pad first and the rest afterwards. He performed this challenge using the RCB merchandise.
Virat has been one of the active persons in the social media to take up challenges and pass it to others. Here, he challenged Parthiv Patel to take this up.
