Watch: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni Try Their Hand as Left-Handers

The third T20I between India and Australia in Hyderabad has been called off due to wet outfield.  Series was set for a decider at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium but heavy rain a day before the game hampered the outfield in such a way that the ground staff was unable to make the ground ready for the last game of Australia’s tour of India 2017.

There was a packed house in Hyderabad, everyone was waiting for a cracking contest but the game was called off after the umpires found the outfield unfit for even a five-over game to take place and the crowd was left disheartened.

 Meanwhile, when the ground staff was trying to create a miracle out of nowhere, Indian players were seen practicing with their trademark, football and soon decided to give the crowd some treat, when the India captain Virat Kohli, Vice-captain Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya decided to try their big hits as left-handers.
