A surprising trend is taking over world cricket as players turn to pickle juice for instant cramp relief
More cricketers are turning to pickle juice as a fast-acting remedy, helping them recover from cramps almost instantly during high-intensity matches
The sour vinegar triggers a nerve reflex in the throat that stops muscle misfiring, faster than water or electrolytes
Its high sodium content helps replace salts lost in sweat. This keeps players hydrated and reduces the chances of cramps returning
Viral reactions from Marsh and Starc, Jaiswal using it vs Australia, and Ben Stokes nearly throwing up in the 2025 Ashes have put pickle juice in the spotlight
Most players hate the taste, England’s Tammy Beaumont calls it “gross.” Still, they drink it because it works. Now available in single-shot sachets made specifically for athletes
