While all the other nine participating teams in the World Cup have already started their campaigns, Team India is still waiting for their first game of the tournament. The likes of England, Pakistan, South Africa have, in fact, two games but the Men in Blue will have to wait for one more day before they start their campaign.

The players, nonetheless, are making full use of the time. Instead of practising in the nets and sitting idly in their hotel rooms, the players recently enjoyed a game of paintball in the woods. Paintball is a game in which players eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with spherical dye-filled gelatin capsules (“paintballs”) that break upon impact.  Later the BCCI and the some players including skipper Virat Kohli had taken to Twitter to post some photos of the same.

They lost their first game by 104 runs against England before Bangladesh stunned them by 21 runs.

An avid cricket lover, I just love this game more than anything. Writing about cricket keeps me closer to the game.
