The associations earlier followed a mark of 16.5 as cut-off for yo-yo but showed leniency by selecting even those who posted 14 as, unlike the Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri era, there was no strict directive from the Indian cricket board. Compared to the world standards, India's Yo-Yo marker wasn't stiff but even then plenty of superstars found it difficult to pass the assessment between what became the dreaded cones in Indian cricket.

The introduction of the rugby-style Bronco Test in the Indian cricketing system, by the current Indian Strength and Conditioning coach Adrian Le Roux, has created a lot of buzz. The 2011 World Cup-winning S&C coach Ramji Srinivasan calls it a much-needed step to improve the endurance of the fast bowlers. Meanwhile, Soham Desai, who recently left the Team India set-up, calls it 'just another test'.

Rohit Sharma, India's ODI captain, is set to undergo fitness assessments at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru starting September 13, including the newly-introduced Bronco Test. He'll also practice there to prepare for the Australia white-ball tour in November.

Manoj Tiwary, former Indian cricketer, suggests the newly introduced Bronco Test in Indian cricket might be a strategy to exclude Rohit Sharma from the team, especially with the 2027 World Cup on the horizon. He questions the timing of this endurance-focused test, contrasting it with previous instances where fitness benchmarks seemingly sidelined senior players like Gambhir and Sehwag.

Ravichandran Ashwin has cautioned Gautam Gambhir's new support staff against abrupt changes to the Indian team's fitness regimes. He highlighted potential harm to players due to frequent alterations in training methods and testing parameters, referencing his own past struggles.

The Indian cricket team has reportedly incorporated the Bronco Test into its fitness evaluation, joining the Yo-Yo Test and 2-kilometre time trial. This new assessment aims to elevate fitness standards by focusing on aerobic endurance, and as explained by a former strength and conditioning coach, makes cheating and cutting corners more difficult.

The BCCI has reportedly introduced a rugby-centric Bronco fitness test for Indian players in an effort to ensure consistently high fitness standards. It will now be used alongside the established Yo-Yo test and 2-kilometer time trial to assess players' readiness for international competition.
