Brisbane: Following their setback in the Pink-ball Test, the Indian cricket team is gearing up for the crucial Brisbane Test with intense net sessions. On Tuesday, the players were seen putting in the hard yards as they fine-tuned their skills under the watchful eyes of head coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morne Morkel.
In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the players were seen sweating out, “It is time to look ahead. Preparations for the Brisbane Test starts right here in Adelaide.”
Captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli led the charge in the nets, focusing on their defensive techniques. Kohli was particularly noted for his check drives, emphasizing a solid technique. Sharma, on the other hand, practiced a mix of defensive strokes and backfoot drives, showcasing his versatility.
Opener KL Rahul, who had an impressive outing in the first Test, continued to demonstrate his strong defensive game. His partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, was in a contrasting mood, aggressively hitting the ball. This aggressive intent was mirrored by fellow left-hander Rishabh Pant, who also opted for an attacking approach in his practice session.
The bowling department was equally active, with Ravindra Jadeja, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal, Akash Deep, and Ravichandran Ashwin all rolling their arms. The bowlers were observed closely by the coaching staff, ensuring that they were honing their skills and strategies effectively.
With the Brisbane Test fast approaching, the Indian team appears focused and determined to bounce back from their recent defeat. The rigorous practice sessions reflect their commitment to improving and delivering a stronger performance in the upcoming match.
