Team India is confident following its superb show in the just-concluded One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in England, where it won 2-1. It has now travelled to West Indies, where it would play limited-overs contests against the hosts, starting with three ODIs from Friday. While the games will be held at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, the visitors were deprived of a good training session on Wednesday, a day after they arrived in the Caribbean. Wednesday saw persistent rains, forcing the Indians to have indoor training sessions. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video.

In the video, players participate in indoor batting and bowling sessions under skipper Shikhar Dhawan and head coach Rahul Dravid. “Gearing up for ODI No.1 against the West Indies 💪 Here’s @shubmangill giving a lowdown on # TeamIndia’s 🇮🇳 first net session in Trinidad,” captioned by the BCCI. Meanwhile, Gill explained how things turned out in the indoor training session.

“As we have just arrived from the UK [United Kingdom], we thought it would be lovely to have a [outdoor] practice session. However, it has started to rain. Nevertheless, knocking indoors is always better than having no session. It was a good session, as we got to do some specific training, including playing underarm balls,” Gill was seen commenting in the clip.
