With an eye on ensuring utmost sharpness on the field, Team India skipper Virat Kohli and other members of the side were seen working hard on their fielding skills in Sydney. The training session was captured in a video posted by the Indian cricket team’s official Instagram handle. “#TeamIndia is back on the park and we turn our attention to fielding. @coach_rsridhar,” the caption on the post read.
The video begins with Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli seen having catching practice. The Team India skipper started off with a fine one-handed catch to his right, followed by Pujara executing a low catch astutely.
The rest of the video features players from the Indian team completing a running catch and indulging in other practice sessions.
