Cricketers and the entertainment

Recently the Indian team took their time off after a successful tour to the Caribbean. All the members of the team were relaxing and getting warmed up in their own way. Skipper Virat Kohli is holidaying in the US with girlfriend Anushka Sharma.

Successful Caribbean tour

Rahane had a wonderful series against West Indies. He was the leading run scorer of the tournament with 336 runs including a century at an improved strike rate too. He was also awarded the “Player of the Series” for his incredible performances. However, it remains to be seen whether he makes it to the first XI against Sri Lanka in the ODIs, as Rohit Sharma will be back in the mix along with the other contender KL Rahul.

New head coach and support staff

The Indian team was without a head coach in the West Indies as former captain Anil Kumble had resigned from the post after the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in England and Wales. BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) announced former all-rounder Ravi Shastri as the new head coach for Team India. The committee also named former fast bowler Zaheer Khan and right handed batsman Rahul Dravid as the bowling and batting consultants respectively.
