Sarfaraz Khan and Washington Sundar gets involved in a fun banter
The Indian camp is currently pumped up and high in confidence after thumping Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener in Perth. Before flying to Adelaide for the next fixture of the five-match series, Rohit Sharma and Co had some fun at the airport.
The latest video shared by BCCI captures the Indian cricketers having fun before boarding their flight to Adelaide. While opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal seemingly took the wrong way and got stuck, the likes of Washington Sundar and Sarfaraz Khan were spotted shopping for hats.
“You will look like Mogambo,” Sarfaraz tells Sundar as the all-rounder looks for a good hat.
Earlier on Monday, India head coach Gautam Gambhir is set to rejoin the team in Australia ahead of the second Test at Adelaide Oval, having flown back home due to ‘personal reasons’ after the big win in the series opener in Perth.
Gambhir missed the two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister’s XI at Manuka Oval here, which was reduced to a 46-overs-a-side contest due to inclement weather. He had left the touring party on 26 November, the scheduled final day of the first Test in Perth.
A rampaging India won the opening Test by 295 runs and with plenty of time left in the match. The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a pink-ball day-nighter, will start on Friday.
Finalising the playing XI will be Gambhir’s top priority after he links up with the Indian squad that has been strengthened further by the arrival of captain Rohit Sharma after he missed the opening game of the five-match series due to the birth of his second child.
In Gambhir’s absence, his three trusted lieutenants Abhishek Nayar, Ryan ten Doeschate and Morne Morkel oversaw the team’s training and preparations for the tour match, which India won by six wickets.
