Currently, Team India is on their tour to South Africa and they are in no mood of leaving any stone unturned to give a tough fight to the hosts, in the upcoming series starting on January 5.
A lot of hopes will be lying around the pace battery of team that includes the likes of Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Most of the cricketing pundits are considering this attack as the most balanced that the Indian team has ever had. So the expectations from the team to do well have obviously sky-rocketed.
On Sunday, BCCI posted a video on Twitter, where the pacers were seen going full-throttle against the batsmen on a centre-wicket at Newlands, during a practice session. The caption of the video read, “Bowlers vs Batsmen. What a contest it turned out to be here this afternoon at Cape Town. @MdShami11 @Jaspritbumrah93 @hardikpandya7 Avesh Khan and Ankit Rajpoot snaring pace! What a sight! #TeamIndia.”

In another video, Bumrah talked about how productive the training session was. He said, “This is our first practice session since we have come to south Africa. We are doing center-wicket practice where all the batsmen will play according to their batting order. You have to get the feel of the wicket, feel of the weather. It was a good training session for me as this is my first trip with the Test team. I’ve been with these guys in the one-day setup, but playing with them in the Test match circuit, there’s a lot to learn.”
