6 Cricketers who underwent amazing body transformation
All the hard yards some of these cricketers travelled to get themselves into a physical state of brilliance didn't go unnoticed though.
6. Maheesh Theekshana (SL)
Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana is also a part of a stunning body transformation over the years. He used to weigh around 117 kg during his U19 times in 2017-18 and also missed a few matches for failing fitness tests on multiple occasions.
When he realised that the importance of fitness in his cricket career, Theekshana followed strict diet and also started working out hard in gym. He cut off rice from diet completely and also stopped eating fish and snacks.
By 2020, Theekshana was one of the fittest cricketers in Sri Lanka with his Yo-Yo test score from 16.1 to 19.2. He also dropped his two-km sprint time to 8.28 mins from 10.28 minutes. Currently, he is Sri Lanka's premier spinner in the limited-overs format and also represents Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
