Virat Kohli To Theekshana: 5 Cricketers Who Underwent Inspirational Body Transformation

Virat Kohli To Theekshana: 5 Cricketers Who Underwent Inspirational Body Transformation: In the modern-day cricket, or in general any sport, there is no denying of the utmost importance of physical fitness for athletes that helps them improve their performances on the playing field. There has never been a larger emphasis on fitness among cricketers in the past than it is in the current modern game.

While some cricketers are natural-born athletes – like Ravindra Jadeja, Glenn Maxwell – most others have had to go some sort of transformation – be it big or small – to attain their peak fitness levels.

A few got into bodybuilding and made significant changes in their physique after their playing days were over.  Some of the body transformations of cricketers will shock you and blow your mind away.

Apart from the on-field advantages of a fit, good-looking body, the other advantage is also that these players get lucrative brand endorsements that appeal to the youth and push them into a better physical state.

Here are 5 insane, jaw-dropping, inspirational body transformations of cricketers:

Chris Tremlett

The world held its breath with astonishment when a few years ago images of former England seamer Chris Tremlett in his new avatar went viral on social media and Tremlett received a surge in his following.

The lanky former England pacer has now turned into a human Hulk with a gigantic body. Chris is almost unrecognizable now, far from what he used to look like in his playing days. It would be fair to say that perhaps no retired cricketer spends as much time in the gym as Tremlett.

Here, check out Chris Tremlett’s incredible body transformations:

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is not only a cricketing idol for budding young players but also a fitness icon for millions of youth and elderly in the world. Around 2012/13 he decided to turn his fitness around and gain an advantage over his competitors.

The RCB and India star went from a chubby, non-veg loving youngster to an extremely fit vegan athlete, and the whole of India followed his footsteps on the path of body and mind fitness. Kohli regularly shares his gym training photos and videos and continues to inspire his fans.

Chris Gayle

West Indies and RCB legend Chris Gayle may not come across as a fitness enthusiast. But you don’t have such a long and successful career at the highest level without getting into shape and being at your fittest. Gayle was earlier thin and slim. But he added more muscles and a lot of power in his body to be able to easily clear the fence.

Maheesh Theekshana

Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana is making a name for himself in the T20 circuit as a mystery spinner. A few years ago, Maheesh Theekshana had to get more serious about his fitness as he, as seen from the image below, was clearly a bit oversized for an international cricketer and worked hard on himself.

He revealed that during his under-19 days he weighed 117 Kgs! Because of his weight and lethargic fitness, he used to fail the yo-yo test early in his career and was sidelined despite good bowling performances.

S Sreesanth

Former India pacer S Sreesanth has bulked up significantly from the last time he played for India a dozen years ago. Sidelined from cricket due to alleged involvement in spot-fixing in 2013, Sreesanth took up acting and got roles in movies and TV serials which prompted him to work more on his looks and his physique.
