Team India Enjoys Game Of Paintball Ahead Of World Cup

Team India will be the last team to open their World Cup campaign this year. The Men in Blue will kickstart their campaign on June 5 when they take on South Africa in a mouth-watering clash in Southampton. Virat Kohli & Co. will be keen to start their campaign on a winning note. India are one of the favourites to win this year’s World Cup and a solid performance against South Africa will only enhance their title-winning credentials.

But ahead of the big game, the players are not at all worried or tensed. Instead, they are enjoying their time in England to the fullest. Skipper Virat Kohli, on Friday, gave a glimpse of it by posting a picture on Twitter. The photo featured KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and other members of the team. Posting the picture, Kohli wrote:

“Fun times with the boys.”

India, meanwhile, had a mixed result from the warm-up games. The favourites suffered a crushing six-wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand. However, the two-time winners bounced back in style by thrashing Bangladesh by 95 runs in their second warm-up game last week. KL Rahul and MS Dhoni both scored a century as they played a knock of 108 and 113 runs respectively to help India post 359 for 7. The bowlers then bowled out Bangladesh for just 264.
