Sports Minister Mandaviya, Gautam Gambhir join Sundays on Cycle fitness event

Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Indian men's cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir turned up for the Sundays on Cycle ride on Sunday. They used the ride to push fitness as something every Indian should treat as routine rather than occasional.

The event mixed sports figures with ordinary citizens pedalling the same routes. Both men said the point was to get people moving regularly, not just to stage a photo-op.

Gambhir has made conditioning a central plank of his time as head coach, and he made the same case to the crowd after the ride ended.
