Strength and conditioning coach Nick Webb, in consultation with physio Nitin Patel, has customised routines for Virat Kohli and boys to ensure they stay in top shape despite the pandemic-induced break.

Sources in the team management said that the duo of Webb and Patel have made player-specific routines for all the contracted players to ensure that they can continue to stay in shape even as the country fights the coronavirus outbreak.

“All the players, irrespective of whether they play red-ball cricket or white-ball cricket or all formats, have been given fitness routines which they are to follow and give updates to Webb and Patel from time to time. The routines have been created keeping in mind the demands of the players.
