Time and Time again, the Baroda-born cricketer has been giving fitness goals to his fans by sharing his workout videos and he continues to do so. In his latest video on Instagram, the junior Pandya can be seen performing one Leg Squat with a plate. This exercise is done to strengthen the lower body, core and quadriceps.

Due to his back injury, the star all-rounder hasn’t played a lot of cricket in the past year. However, he looks fitter than ever at the moment and must be raring to showcase his blitzes in the marquee tournament. The three-time IPL champion has been a cornerstone of Mumbai Indian’s line-up over the years and is expected to replicate his brilliance again.

However, with the tournament taking place in UAE, all the teams will face a different challenge. The pitches in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai are known to favour the spinners and the boundaries are also on the larger side. Also, Mumbai Indians have lost all the five matches which they have played in UAE. So, it will be interesting to see if Rohit Sharma and Co will be able to defend their title or not.
