India registered a thumping win in the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and now are preparing themselves for the second Test match of the series. It is going to be a tough game as it is a day-night Test and Pink ball tends to be do a lot more than the traditional red-ball. 

So, to prepare better, India will be playing a two-day practice game in Canberra and it is too going to be a day-night game. So, as the Indian team travelled from Perth to Canberra, the players looked in jovial mood, sporting some funky looks. Rishabh Pant was also seen giving a lollipop to the debutant of the last game, Harshal Patel. The video has been released by the official X handle of BCCI and it involves sneak peak into the Indian team's whereabouts at the airport.

Rohit Sharma Set To Lead India In Practice Match

Also, the good news is that captain Rohit Sharma is spotted with the Indian team and he would be leading from the second Test onwards. The pink-ball practice game is also crucial for him as he has just arrived from India, and would like to practice and get used to Australian conditions as quickly as possible.

The video also features Shubman Gill, but he is likely to miss the practice game due to a finger injury. He is also doubtful for the second Test and as Rohit Sharma takes back his opening position, Rahul could fit in at number 3 in the second Test. India won the first Test match by a massive margin of 295 runs, and would now be looking to continue that momentum at the Adelaide Oval, the same venue where they were bowled out for just 36 in 2020.
