Royal Challengers Bangalore will host Delhi Daredevils for the 19th match of the Indian Premier League 2018. The focus would be on the two captains as expected, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. With both the teams being let down by their bowling in the previous encounters, the main effort would be about putting up a good bowling show. That happens or not, remains to be seen. But we can already tell you who has emerged as the fittest cricketer in IPL 2018 even though the tournament is in its early stages.

Following him in the second spot is Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson. A premier batsman, he has in IPL 2018, picked up 57 singles, 9 twos and a solitary three. He has 146 runs in 4 matches this season, at an average of 48.66.
The ever-so-busy Kane!
In the elite list, it is surprising to see Sanju Samson there even though he does not have a national cap. Yet, his fitness level is right up there. Young Samson has picked up 53 singles, 8 twos and two three runs. He is just behind Virat in the race for the purple cap with 187 runs in 5 matches at an average of 46.75.
In this list, the other players are, Dinesh Karthik, Karun Nair and Nitish Rana.
