The players of the Indian team train intensively in training caps before taking part in the Asian Cup on August 30th. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar announced the 17-man Indian squad for the Asian Cup last week. After that, all the players of the team will sweat it out in the 6-day training camp in Alur, Karnataka starting August 24th. Now the video of this conditioning camp has been published by BCCI on social media.
This video from the training camp, where Virat Kohli consistently hits big balls, also featured fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has returned from the Ireland tour and impressed with the speed of his balls. In this training camp, too, all eyes were on Shreyas Iyer. Those who passed the yo-yo fitness test on day one also showed great style in hitting afterwards.
In this video Shreyas Iyer can be seen playing a helicopter recording. At the same time, coach Rahul Dravid has also made it clear that Iyer is fully fit and ready to play at the Asian Cup. In such a situation, it is almost certain that Iyer will play at number 4. Other Indian players were also seen sweating profusely in the video.
