Virat Kohli had a terrific Asia Cup 2022 for Team India

Yo-Yo test is nothing but a running aerobic fitness test where players need to run between markers placed 20 metres at increasing speeds. It helps in measuring the endurance of players and the ability to pace themselves. In this players run between the markers with the help of audio cues. Virat Kohli was the star performer for Team India in the last edition of the Asia Cup and the 20-20 World Cup in 2022. So, he will be a key factor once again this time around. This tournament will be a great platform for the Men in Blue to get prepared for the upcoming ODI World Cup, starting in October.
