Bihar captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi undergoes special fitness training in Indore
The left-handed batter is focusing on acceleration, gym sessions, and swimming ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Bihar captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi is undergoing specialised fitness training at the Daly College ground in Indore, according to Bhaskar English. The sessions are being conducted alongside his personal coach, Rajamani Prabhu, as preparations continue for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which begins on 14 November.
Suryavanshi is focusing on acceleration training to improve his speed and body balance through repeated sprints. The training emphasises achieving maximum speed over short distances, specifically the initial 5 to 10 metres, to help him run quickly between the wickets.
In addition to on-field drills, the batter is performing gym sessions to increase physical strength and muscular endurance. He has also included swimming in his fitness and recovery routine.
The training follows expert advice that a lack of speed drills for three consecutive days can reduce a player's pace by up to 10 per cent. Prabhu is supervising the individual sessions to address the player's specific requirements.
Suryavanshi made his first-class debut for Bihar against Mumbai in January 2024. He was later included in the Rajasthan Royals squad for Rs 1.10 crore in 2025 and became the youngest centurion in the IPL by scoring a century in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans.
