India speedster Bhunvneshwar Kumar was seen hitting the nets. The close to full run-up bowling session by Bhuvneshwar is a big positive for India but it is uncertain whether he will be cleared for Windies match on Thursday.

"It is indeed a positive sign as he bowled close to 30-35 minutes under Farhart's observation. It started with a small four or five step run-in to the wicket before he kept increasing the run-up at regular intervals. He was also checked on by skipper Virat Kohli during his net session. There was no visible discomfort and that is a good sign," a source told IANS.
