As wicketkeeping requires constant squatting and agility, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's quadriceps strength is unquestionable.

He has often attributed his fitness to his love for other sports and to his ancestral roots in Almora, Uttrakhand.

Mahi's fans had a ball and went on to congratulate him on Twitter.

Many fans appreciated Pandya for taking up the challenge.
