The Indian team is leaving no stone unturned to prepare for the series they believe is one of their toughest challenges. After clearing the first round of COVID-19 testing, players have been exempted to train outdoors and prepare specifically for certain challenges they will face in the series against Australia. BCCI social media team has been very active in dishing out information for fans across the world as the players are behind closed doors to prepare for a widely anticipated series.
In the latest video released by BCCI on Twitter, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and the wicketkeeper-batsman for the limited overs series, KL Rahul were active in an unusual mode of practising. KL Rahul could well be practising to master the art of playing against tennis ball bounce which can be found in some of the pitches in Australia. Ashwin was serving Rahul balls that bounced in different directions and Rahul was seen repeating pull shots, one after another. The focus of Rahul was to keep the ball down and his wrist work was on full display in the video released by BCCI on Twitter.
Earlier, Ashwin was seen finetuning his guile and flight of the ball. The off-spinner will meet a certainly more challenging Aussie batting line up than he bowled against during the last tour and he seems to be giving it all in order to be at the best against them.
Indian team reached Sydney on November 12 straight from the IPL in the UAE and have been in quarantine since that time. The tour will officially begin with the ODI on November 27 followed by a three-match T20 series and four-match Test series.
