Senior Players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have joined the Team India camp with several other players like Harshit Rana and Shreyas Iyer. All of the players have been putting in the effort as they take up some training in the nets ahead of their match against the Lankan Lions. Throughout the camps during the tour, several players could be seen stepping out of their comfort zone and doing something unconventional, like Hardik Pandya doing spin bowling. A similar instance took place in the nets before the ODIs.

In a video shared by the BCCI on X (Formerly Twitter), Shreyas Iyer makes his India comeback after missing out on his central contract with the Central Cricket Board. Iyer was seen taking up some bowling in the nets and faced off against a batter. You could see him bowling at 00:50 seconds.

Seeing Shreyas Iyer bowling in the nets is something which does not happen all the time. But ever since Gautam Gambhir took over as the head coach, a lot of players have been experimenting with different things whenever they practice.
