Kohli and Rohit have a fun time
In a video that the Indian Cricket Board shared on social media, the likes of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and others could be seen chilling in the swimming pool of their hotel. Kohli, Rohit, and Jadeja even displayed their dancing skills in the pool.
The Men in Blue cruised past the top 4 batters in the team and got 50+ scores. With Virat Kohli and KL Rahul scoring centuries, the former scored 122 runs off 94 balls and the other scored 111 runs off 102 balls. The bowling unit also ensured that Pakistan only reached 128 runs while chasing a target of 357. Kuldeep Yadav finished with a five-wicket haul as Pakistan struggled against the left-arm wrist spinner. As well as taking five wickets, his eight overs cost only 25 runs.
Team India members were seen relaxing in the swimming pool as they will be facing Sri Lanka today which will be their 3rd straight day on the ground. They are expected to make some changes in the team so that no players pick up any kind of minor injuries as well.
The team India skipper stated, "Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust with the rain, the two experienced (Kohli an Rahul) guys we knew they'd take time to get their eye in and then we can get going."
