                    While 
                    counseling young cricketers in the academy one of the biggest 
                    reasons for fatigue that I see is poor water intake. A normal 
                    person requires 8-10 glasses or 2-2 and a half-liters water 
                    daily. If you are training and playing daily then you are 
                    sweating more than normal people do and you have to drink 
                    more water or you will be like a plant that is not watered 
                    sufficiently. It does not die but is drooping and withered. 
                    You will be tired and exhausted easily. 
                  Research has also shown that 
                    a person's mental capacity to calculate numbers is lower if 
                    the body is not fully hydrated. As a cricketer you are always 
                    making mental calculations and you have to be properly hydrated 
                    if your brain wants to perform at its highest level. 
                    So your body and brain need the water, 3-4 liters is minimum. 
                    You need to consciously drink water, even above your thirst 
                    signals. Don't gulp it down, keep sipping half glasses at 
                    frequent intervals so you don't feel heavy when you run.
