India vs England: Virat Kohli-led team gathers at Durham, conducts first training session - VIDEO
In one absolute memorable moment in the video, India captain Kohli was seen rolling on the floor laughing, literally
The Indian team led by Virat Kohli gathered in Durham ahead of the five-match Test series against England and began their preparations for the upcoming series. The BCCI uploaded a video of India's first strength and mobility session in Durham on their official Twitter handle.
In the video, all the members of the team including Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, etc., were seen sweating it out in the ground.
The players were seen jogging and running, playing a game of football, and also conducting fielding drills. In one absolute memorable moment in the video, India captain Kohli was seen rolling on the floor laughing, literally.
The video also included snippets of fielding coach RS Sridhar's birthday celebrations.
The Indian team will be playing a practice match starting from July 20th in Chester-le-Street against County Select XI.
The visitors suffered a huge blow earlier this week when it was revealed that wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant tested positive for Covid-19 and will not able to travel with the team to Durham. Pant had tested positive on July 8th and was asymptomatic on Thursday.
India's reserve wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is also under isolation for 10 days for having come in contact with India's throwdown specialist Dayanand Garani who also had tested positive for the virus on Thursday. So it will be interesting to see who eventually dons the gloves for India in the first Test against England which begins on August 4th.
