Team India seemed in a jovial mood in their latest practice session as Rohit Sharma led the way in doing so. The Indian team will take on England in a high-voltage five-match Test series, starting on Wednesday; however, instead of taking pressure, the tourists did their business relaxed. Opener Rohit Sharma got the team to indulge in a unique activity in their warm-up session.

The squad had been divided into two teams. Fielding coach R Sridhar had to toss a tennis ball in the air, with a player from one of the sides trying to get under it and bounce off his helmet. Meanwhile, his team members had to surround him and catch the ball after bouncing. The score depended upon the number of catches in limited turns for each side.

Indian captain Virat Kohli and batting coach Vikram Rathour also asked the support staff to join them in this activity. Vikram Rathour said after the incident that it seemed a lot of fun; hence, the support staff decided to join as well. He felt that it was a great activity to start the day.

We were all seeing that it was a lot of fun. So I thought it would be a good idea if support staff also participated and we did. They were all very supportive and we even saw Paaji coming in and trying his best. So, good fun, great game to start the day with,” Rathour stated.
