The Indian cricket team members are leaving no stone upturned in fine tuning their cricketing skills ahead of their World Cup opener against South Africa on May 5. However, the Indian team has been taking some time out of their hectic practice regime to unwind off the field and keep their mental composure on track.


The 'Men in Blue' comprising of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja and reserve player Deepak Chahar went out for a game of paintball in Southampton on Friday.

India captain Virat Kohli captured his team mates enjoying the fun activity with a trendy caption that read "Fun times with the boys,"

The Indian players have been taking their training sessions seriously at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Thursday, days after their World Cup 2019 warm-up match against Bangladesh.

Virat Kohli tried his hand at some off-spin at the nets before he fine tuned his skills with the willow facing the net bowlers at the Ageas Bowl.

India players also took part in a special fielding drill to improve their ground fielding under the watchful eyes of their fielding coach R Sridhar. The focus was on direct hits, explained Sridhar while elaborating on the fun elements of the session.
