'First outdoor session'
Taking to the micro-blogging site, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had posted a few images where the likes of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, stylish Kerala batsman Sanju Samson, pacer Umesh Yadav, and wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, young speedster Mohammad Siraj, etc. making the most of the team's first outdoor session where they can be seen running around supposedly at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
In the other image posted by the national cricket board, the star-studded fast bowling line-up including the likes of Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, and T Natarajan can be seen sweating it out in the gym as they prepare themselves to bamboozle the Australian batsmen with their unique toe-crushers. In one of the images, Indian's red-ball specialist, as well as one of the most reliable batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara, can also be seen giving his best as he keeps himself engaged with some lower-body exercises.
