    Before getting together for the flight, RCB players have been training together virtually, following a “world-class fitness regime” and they feel “completely ready” for the tournament. “In an environment where fitness facilities have not been easily accessible, since the season announcement, RCB management has worked with the coaches to map the players based on fitness needs and divided them into groups,” the statement read.
