India suffered a crushing defeat in the first T20 against Australia. Team India's bowlers were once again disappointed in this match as they failed to defend the target of 209 runs. During this, the bowlers also did not get along with the fielders, players like Axar Patel and KL Rahul dropped important catches which also became the reason for Team India's defeat. After the match, the cricket pundits started analyzing the bowling strategy along with the Indian team's strategy and started giving their respective reactions. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt raised questions on the fitness of Indian players. Salman said that some players in India are overweight.

Talking on his YouTube channel, Salman Butt said, 'I don't think anyone will talk about it, but India's team fitness is not an idol. Taking away some players including Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya, fitness is not India's strong side. The key players of India are not as outstanding inside the field as they should be. Indian bowlers take pace in bowling and are unable to weave opportunities in fielding.KL Rahul dropped the catch, it looked like he was running loosely towards the ball, Axar Patel also left the catch in the same way. If you drop the catch in a chase like this, the batsmen will not give you a chance. Paes is a matter of concern in the fitness and bowling of players for India before the World Cup. In Australia, your fielding and throwing ability should be very good. This is not a good sign for India.

Along with this, Salman Butt also said that what is the reason for not being fit for Indian players? With this, he also compared India with other teams.

He said, 'What is the reason for the players of India who are not fit, they get the highest salary in the world, they play the most cricket. If compared to other teams in terms of fitness, then it is not as fit as teams like Australia, South Africa, and England. It is also not the fittest among Asian teams. Some players seem loose, some are overweight. They need to work on fitness.

The former Pakistani player further said, 'Virat Kohli is an example to the world of how fit he is, so are Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya. Look at Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul was also looking loose, if they get fit then the Indian team will look more dangerous. India needs to work on this.
