Meanwhile, since Virat Kohli has taken the reigns of this side, the whole team have witnessed a shift in the fitness. The Men in Blues are currently one of the fittest and competitive sides across the entire world. Team India trainer Shankar Basu has worked hard with the current crop of players to keep this team healthy and fit. However, MS Dhoni has his fitness regime and doesn’t believe too much on powerlifting. In fact, two people who deserve credit for Dhoni’s ability to remain one of the fittest even at this age are former India trainer Ramji Srinivasan and Gregory Allen King. Allen also works as a fitness trainer for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
