The Indian Cricket Team have been sweating it out as they train up for some limited white-ball action against Bangladesh . After the test series ended in favour of India in a clean sweep, the Bangla Tigers will be determined to win it all in the three-match T20I series, which will take place in various venues around the country. With the first match happening at the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior, Team India's pace battery put up some effort in the nets. Some of the premier stars included all-rounder Hardik Pandya and pacer Arshdeep Singh, while bowling coach Morne Morkel led the training.

One of the biggest attractions would be Mayank Yadav, who received a national team call-up for the first time in his career. He was also seen training in the India kit. The pacer has been one of the biggest trailblazers in IPL after he regularly clocked the 150 kph mark.
