The importance of fitness has gone sky high in cricket. Earlier, the players did not care about their fitness levels and used to eat whatever they want. This was the main reason why the players of the 19th and the 20th century were lazy fielders.

However, in the 21st century, the concept of cricket has modernized a lot. The players are focused on their fitness than their game because if they are not fit and play well then too they will not get a place in the team.

Players like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dh oni, Hardik Pandya, and KL Rahul have set benchmarks for fielding in Indian cricket. The aforementioned players always perform better than the others because they are in good shape and they have the physical capabilities to do things that normal people cannot.
