Importance of Fitness for Cricketers
In order to perform well in cricket, players need to have the power to hit boundaries and the stamina to field. This is why cricketers prioritize their fitness and pay attention to their body fat and calorie intake. According to the head coach of the Bihar Ranji team, cricketers maintain their body fat percentage between 12 to 15% and regularly exercise to maintain their muscular and lean bodies. Fitness is crucial for cricketers at the Ranji level, as they are no less than professional athletes in terms of physical conditioning.
Diet and Nutrition for Cricketers
Cricket players require a lot of energy to play matches, which is why they are conscious of their diet. Proper nutrition can improve their performance, while a poor diet can negatively impact their performance on the field. The team’s dieticians pay close attention to the players’ diet before, during, and after matches. Cricketers are provided with a high protein diet, carbs, and fluids every two hours, including juices with fruits. Additionally, they are given egg to order from breakfast to dinner for bone health.
Cricket Players’ Diet Preferences
The players of the Bihar Ranji team prefer to eat home-cooked meals rather than eating outside. They focus on maintaining not only their physical health but also their mental health. Players like Sachin Kumar Singh follow a vegetarian diet, while others prefer chicken and eggs for protein and calcium. Common foods in their diet include paneer, dal, green vegetables, and roti. The diet of a cricketer differs significantly from that of an average person.
