India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma recently cleared the newly introduced bronco fitness test at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The 38-year-old, who has been playing international cricket for 18 years, silenced critics by showcasing his fitness and endurance at the twilight of his career.
Reports from RevSportz Global praised Rohit’s physical appearance and test performance, establishing him as fit and ready for the upcoming ODI series against Australia starting October 19.
The bronco test is designed to measure players’ stamina and endurance through shuttle runs, a new addition to the BCCI’s fitness protocols following the familiar Yo-Yo test. Several Indian players, including Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah, also successfully completed the test along with Rohit.

Rohit looked visibly leaner and fitter than in previous outings, with fans and experts alike taking note of his sharp physical condition. While social media buzzed with claims that Rohit scored as high as 19.4 in the Yo-Yo test, official figures remain undisclosed.
Though Rohit retired from T20Is and Tests, his fitness levels and determination are crucial as he continues to lead India in ODIs. His illustrious career includes over 11,000 ODI runs at an average close to 50, with 30 centuries and the highest individual ODI score of 264 not out. Rohit has led India to two ICC titles in recent years including the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2023 Champions Trophy.
