New Delhi: Former India opener Virender Sehwag said that Ashish Nehra has succeeded in making the place in the T20 squad due to his fitness. Sehwag feels that in the case of Nehra fitness, captain Virat Kohli is not 19. Sehwag said in a TV show that the power of Nehra's fitness is that he spends about eight hours in the gym even when he is not playing international cricket. He said, "I was not surprised when I was selected to play against Nehra in the T20 squad, when I started playing cricket, I was not aware of fitness, although later I noticed it. If my beginners In days I have the tools of training that are today, so I would have played like Nehra. " Sehwag said that Nehra is a fast bowler and he has no problem in running. That's why they did not have any problem in the yo-yo test. Nehra does not have time to spend time in the gym, but he loves to run and swim. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina could not pass the yo-yo test and that is why they are not in the T20 team.Sehwag said, "I do not think age should be scaled down to play the World Cup, if Nehra is fit, giving runs and taking wickets, why should not he be in the team? At the age of 42, Sanath Jayasuriya And if Sachin Tendulkar can play at the age of 40, why not Nehra? I am glad he is a part of the team and I want him to play more matches in the future. " Sehwag said that the fitness mantra is a hit if you are fit.
