Murali Vijay is hooked to Slacklining - and can't get enough of it!

He sends balls flying over the stadium and rides a mean wave on the surf board, but batsman Murali Vijay, it seems, can't get enough of sports. The latest sport that he's hooked to is Slacklining.

Slack-lining involves walking or balancing along a suspended length of flat webbing that is tensioned between two anchors and Vijay is certainly not slacking in it and trains for it almost daily.

"I've been trying it out recently and it is brilliant. It requires great mental fitness and meditation," Vijay says.

Just like cricket and surfing, the opening batsman has picked up some life lessons from his newest fixation too.

He says, "It teaches you to focus, meditate and balance your entire body with your mind. That I think is great exercise to excel in anything you do in life."
