Team India players are currently enjoying their holidays in England as BCCI allowed them a 20-day break before the five-match Test series against England.
During the break, most of the players are in London or its surrounding areas and are spending time with their families, while some have also gone to visit the countryside.
After this break, the players of the Indian team will gather in London on July 14. Indian captain Virat Kohli is not missing any chance to work hard and train himself even during the break. The star player shared a video on Tuesday, in which he was seen doing some intense workout.
