Ahead of the IND vs ENG 5th Test, India had an optional net session of Wednesday. Although most squad members decided to skip the net session ahead of the inconsequential Test, some of players brushed up on their skills.
India have already wrapped up the series ahead of the Dharamshala Test. After losing the first Test of the 5-match series, India staged a remarkable turn around. Rohit Sharma’s men won the next 3 Tests to wrap up the series with a match to spare. However, the result of the match will impact India’s World Test Championship standings, and hence it is important for Team India to finish the series on a high.
A day before the IND vs ENG 5th Test which starts on Thursday, 7th March, India kept an optional net session. Although a lot of members from the Test squad decided to give the session a miss, some members were seen practicing hard.
Among them was Yashasvi Jaiswal who leads the scoring charts in the series. Jaiswal is having a dream run at the moment. In spite of the good form, the Indian opener was seen toiling hard on the nets.
Other than Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Akash Deep, Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar were also seen to attend the practice. Perhaps the most surprising of the lot was Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin, who will feature in his 100th Test for Team India, showed unwavering determination by attending the optional net session.
