The Indian team had left the United Kingdom for Trinidad, which is experiencing its hottest summer ever, and landed on a rainy Caribbean island. Hence, the team management decided to use the indoor facilities for the upcoming games.

“As we have just arrived from the UK, we thought it would be good to do (outdoor) practice sessions. But it started raining.

IND vs WI 2022: So, it is always better to knock at indoor facilities rather than not having sessions,” opener Shubman Gill tweeted by BCCI in the video.

The Certain things we like to play underarm ball:-

“It was a good session because we got to do certain things like play underarm balls,” Gill said.

Gill said players are waiting for a chance to play a good white-ball team like the West Indies. “I am feeling great.

And we are all really excited and really excited about these three ODIs. We think it will be a good series,” said Gill.
