A day before India’s first ODI against the West Indies, the visitors wanted to hit the nets. However, the rain gods had other plans. But instead of waiting or letting the day go by, the players had an indoor netting session. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to share a video featuring clips from the Indian training session. “You are getting ready for ODI No.1 against the West Indies,” BCCI captioned the video. Batter Shubman Gill appears in the video and explains how they decided to train indoors because of the rain.
“We all thought a net session would be good, but it started to rain. So we decided to go in for a session. It’s better that we knock in instead of doing nothing,” explains Gill.
