Before the crucial Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 stage, Team India made the decision to relax and have some fun on a beach in Dubai. The Men in Blue were spotted participating in various water sports, including surfing, kayaking, and beach volleyball.
The team appeared to be fairly at ease in a video that BCCI shared on social media, and with good reason—they had just won two excellent matches in the Asia Cup against Pakistan and Hong Kong. While kayaking, Captain Rohit Sharma appeared to be enjoying the sunshine.
Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal were seen paddling. Star batsman Virat Kohli in particular appeared incredibly calm as he got ready to hit the shore. Along with others, Dinesh Karthik and he also had a humorous exchange.
Prior to the Asia Cup, Kohli took a lengthy sabbatical from competitive play, which appears to have really boosted his confidence.
Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh were pricey, giving up a combined 97 runs in eight overs as India easily defeated Hong Kong.
With the 2022 T20 World Cup in mind, Rohit Sharma’s response to the victory revealed that he is a little concerned about the wider picture. Rohit has made it known that he leads the Mumbai Indians with ruthlessness, and he might do the same with the national squad.
It will be intriguing to watch if India trust in-form Hardik Pandya as the third seamer and play an additional spinner in their upcoming encounter given that they only have three pacers in the roster.
