After being baffled by the Proteas in the 4th ODI, the Indian batsmen are working hard in the nets ahead of the 5th ODI. The limited-overs series is very tightly scheduled as the teams are hardly finding any time off. The two teams travelled to Port Elizabeth from Johannesburg the very next day after the game. Also, both the teams hit the nets as soon as they reached the venue for the 5th ODI.

While South Africa are toiling hard to ensure a draw in the series, the Indian team will try their best to seal the series. Team India will have to win just one game more to seal their first ever bilateral series in the Rainbow nation. The Pink ODI and AB de Villiers seemed to have helped South Africa’s cause in the previous game. However, the Proteas should be on the top of their game to prove that the victory was no fluke.

Interesting scenes at the spinners’ nets

Team India arrived in Port Elizabeth on Sunday (February 12) and started practicing for the fifth ODI the very next day. The BCCI took it to their Twitter handle to share a beautiful picture of Port Elizabeth. “Silent and serene. A cloudy welcome at Port Elizabeth,” they wrote.

Moreover, senior selector and former Indian bowler Sarandeep Singh was spotted at the nets while the team was practising. Earlier, Team India also received a traditional welcome at the venue.

Furthermore, the former Indian captain, MS Dhoni was seen in the nets bowling some slow leg-spin. He alongside Axar Patel were spotted bowling in tandem at the nets. MS Dhoni was earlier observed bowling medium pace at the nets as well. He often takes up various roles at the net practice session. The batsmen tried to take the spinners on and hit them for some big shots. BCCI also shared a video of Dhoni and Axar bowling in the nets.
