It was a full-strength squad at the nets, with skipper Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Yashasvi Jaiswal among those seen working hard under the supervision of head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Who all took part in Team India’s practice session?

The training began with an intense batting session led by captain Shubman Gill, who was seen spending extra time in the nets with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal.

The duo faced long spells of throwdowns as Gambhir closely observed their approach and discussed tactics ahead of the match.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also joined in the session and focused on his catching drills along with Sai Sudharsan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Jasprit Bumrah. 

India’s preparations come after a successful Test run in recent months- a 2-2 draw in England and a 2-0 home sweep against the West Indies.
