Fact Check: Did Rohit Sharma really score 19.4 in Yo-Yo Test?

Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma has been at the centre of speculation after social media buzz suggested that he cleared the Yo-Yo fitness test with a score of 19.4. The veteran opener recently reported to the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for routine fitness and pre-season assessments. Along with Rohit, Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill and several members of the Asia Cup 2025 squad also underwent testing at the venue.

Despite the widespread chatter online, there has been no official confirmation regarding Rohit’s results. According to BCCI protocols, fitness test scores are kept extremely confidential and not meant to be disclosed publicly. In fact, the board has previously stated that if test results are leaked, the players involved could face strict penalties, including removal from the team or snubs from the central contract list.

Given these rules, the claims about Rohit’s score cannot be treated as authentic until there is an official announcement from the BCCI or its representatives. This is the first time Rohit has taken a fitness test since announcing his retirement from Test cricket. A BCCI source in the know of the matter confirmed that all centrally contracted players are required to undergo mandatory fitness assessments before the start of the season.
