Kevin Pietersen Bows Down to Sarfaraz Khan's Weight Loss
Former English cricketer Kevin Pietersen complimented Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan for transforming his body from an overweight figure to slim. Sarfaraz had been the target of criticism before for being plus-sized. To regain his fitness and make it back to the Test squad, he worked hard on his health. Within two months, he shed 17 kilograms.
Images of Sarfaraz's transformation became viral on the internet. Upon seeing those, Pietersen expressed his views over social media. He liked Sarfaraz's effort and hailed his commitment to return to the playing field.
Pietersen's Message to Prithvi Shaw
Pietersen has also spoken about Prithvi Shaw in his message. Pietersen said that Shaw must take a lesson from Sarfaraz's change in fitness. Pietersen believes that a healthy body is the key to a healthy mind.
He posted on X (formerly Twitter):
"Wonderful effort Sarfaraz.! Congratulations to you in the most heartfelt manner. I wish this (weight reduction) will surely assist you towards better and more consistent performance on the ground. I appreciate the manner in which you are putting in efforts with the resolve to represent the national team once again. Tell Prithvi Shaw that Sarfaraz has turned lean. He too can turn like this. A robust mind is in a robust body."
Prithvi Shaw's Recent Struggles
Prithvi Shaw had promised a lot in the early days of his cricket career. But eventually, he lost fitness and put on weight. His lack of fitness resulted in dip in performance.
Because of these reasons, he was removed from the national team. Last year's IPL mega auction saw no team selecting him. Although he played well in domestic cricket, he did not get many opportunities at a bigger level.
