Watch: Team India celebrates Strength and Conditioning coach S. Basu 's birthday

Team India members celebrated their strength and conditioning Coach S. Basu’s birthday today. The physio from Chennai cut the cake in front of all the cheering Team India members. Strangely, Virat Kohli, who is usually the heart of most of the celebrations, was seen standing far back from the group of boys.

Basu looked overwhelmed by the arrangements and couldn’t stop smiling. Opener Shikhar Dhawan was the first man to join him followed by his support staff members.

Basu is a reputed man in the sports fraternity of India. He is regarded as one of the best fitness professionals in the country due to his holistic approach to fitness. He has had previous stints at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore and the Tamil Nadu Ranji team.

He runs the Primal Patterns Holistic Fitness Studio in Chennai where his clientele includes squash players Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal among other athletes. Basu has worked closely with Indian premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore and India assistant coach B. Arun at the NCA.

His reputation grew multi-fold after Virat Kohli credited him for his insanely fit body. It was under his guidance that Kohli, who is arguably the fittest Indian cricketer around at the moment, raised his fitness level. The star cricketer himself revealed the fact through one of his Instagram selfies. Both has been associated for close to eight years.
