IPL 2019: Domestic Players Of Royal Challengers Bangalore Set To Undergo Yo-Yo Test

Perhaps, if there could be any hurt in Virat Kohli’s career, it would be missing an IPL cup in his achievements. The skipper of India, Virat Kohli has attained certain heights in his career but unfortunately, never tasted success in lifting the IPL trophy. Meanwhile, his side, Royal Challengers Bangalore have already started preparations, who asked the youngsters to get Yo-Yo test done.

The Indian skipper has brought the sensational criteria of passing Yo-Yo test to feature for Indian National Cricket Team. Perhaps, they want to follow the same in the domestic tournament, as it yielded great results. For the same, the domestic cricketers of RCB were asked to undergo the yo-yo Test.

Ashish Nehra, Gary Kirstein present in the camp:

Eight players have already joined the camp which also includes Uttar Pradesh captain Akshdeep Nath, Mumbai all-rounder Shivam Dubey, talented Delhi batsman Himmat Singh and seamer Kulwant Khejroliya, Tamil Nadu’s Washington Sundar and Devdutt Paddikal from Karnataka.

Meanwhile, it would be interesting to see whether Akshdeep Nath will go past the yo-yo Test. He was recently out from the team for failing to pass the Test. Another one was Washington Sundar, who faced troubles with it initially but later, he passed it with flying colours.

Under the mentorship of Head Coach Gary Kirsten and former Indian bowler Ashish Nehra, RCB has kickstarted their preparations for the upcoming season which is having an early start. The five-day camp saw eight of their domestic players take part in a warm-up game against Afghanistan on the first day.

Soon, the rest of the players will also join the camp. Royal Challengers Bangalore are looking pretty determined to make things fall in place in the upcoming edition, as this would be another opportunity to make things fall in place.
