Team India begins intense training in SA

The Indian cricket team is quickly getting into thei groove and acclimatising to the Johannesburg climate as it begins its quest to win its maiden Test series in South Africa, commencing at the SuperSport Park on Boxing Day (December 26).

On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted images of the team’s second practice session, with the players seen upping their competitive spirit, indulging in a long practice session their second so far and picking chief coach Rahul Dravid’s brains.

With Dravid speaking about the virtues of quality practice and good intensity in the first training session, his wards showed true intent on Monday with wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant seen taking a giant leap to his left to pouch a difficult catch, while Wriddhiman Saha, too, took his stance behind the stumps.

Virat Kohli, mindful of the changing weather at an altitude of 1400 metres, turned out wearing a pullover, with images showing the Test skipper receiving batting tips from Dravid.
