Hello Sujeeb and thanks for query.
You can give water along with salt and lemon which will take care of dehydration and cramps because of salt loss.
Salt has sodium in it and lemon is XXXXXXX in potassium.
No need to give electrolyte powder as it has sugar in it.
I hope to have answered your query however you can revert to me for any follow up query.
Thanks and best of luck.
