Overview

• Official video shows Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and others running the drill in Dubai, with Adrian Le Roux patting Sanju Samson at the end of his effort.
• The test involves five uninterrupted sets of 20m, 40m and 60m shuttles totaling 1,200 metres, with multiple outlets reporting a target time of about six minutes.
• Le Roux explains the run functions as both training and measurement, noting its portability as a field test that players can perform anywhere and use to self-assess.
• Coverage attributes the test’s introduction to Le Roux’s return to the setup this year, while reports differ on whether it replaces the Yo-Yo test or complements existing assessments.
• Former captain Sunil Gavaskar cautions against using a single timed drill as a rigid selection gate, arguing requirements should reflect different roles and body types.
