The five-match Test series between India and England will start in Nottingham from August 4. Previously, Team India was busy making the series in Durham. In preparation, a fun fight between Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur was shared by the Cricket Control Board of India (BCCI) on Twitter. Rishabh Pant has recently recovered from the corona and has joined the team and the practice is that he looks quite fit in the session and fully prepared for the Test series. Prior to the series, India played a three-day warm-up match in which Pant was unable to participate. KL Rahul, who scored centuries in the practice match, is involved in this fun drill session.

There are two teams for this fun exercise: one Rishabh Pant and another Shardul Thakur. Both players chose players for their respective teams. In this fun exercise, players had to hold the ball with one hand and throw it with the other. Shraddul’s squad included Mohammad Siraj’s Ravindra Jadeja and Pant’s team including Jaspreet Bumrah Aksar Patel. However, Virat Kohli was not seen in the practice session. Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma were also part of it.
All the players in this video are enjoying this fun drill. Prior to this, Team India had practiced vigorously on the central wicket of the Durham Cricket Club, sharing their pictures with the BCCI. Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Virat Kohli practiced batting aggressively during this time.
