Nailing Pull Shots, Having Fun with Teammates: Rohit Sharma Lights Up India's Training Session | See Photos

Team India is currently in Chennai, prepping for the first Test against Bangladesh that gets underway from September 19. Rohit Sharma & Co have been sweating it out in the nets under the watchful eyes of coach Gautam Gambhir. After a day off, the India squad members took part in their third training session since their arrival here last week.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma shared a few pictures from Monday’s training session on his X profile. The Indian skipper was captured playing his trademark pull shot and having fun with his fellow teammates and newly-appointed batting coach Abhishek Nayar.

As per PTI, the captain focused on playing spinners keeping Bangladesh’s slow bowling attack in mind. The practice pitch at the main square offered a decent amount of bounce.

India will have two more practice sessions scheduled before the series opener against Bangladesh, who are riding on the confidence of their series sweep in Pakistan. Most players in the playing eleven select themselves. The Chennai surface usually favours the spinners and there is a likelihood of India going into the game with three spinners and two pacers.

On the batting front, Pant is expected to make his Test return after a gap of almost two years. Dhruv Jurel, who impressed in his debut series against England, will be benched in that case.
