Team India cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer were seen enjoying a pool session ahead of the first ODI on Friday (July 22) at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Dhawan will lead the side in the three-match ODI series in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma. Ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be Dhawan's deputy in this series.
The young Indian team will hope to keep the momentum going after a comprehensive 2-1 series win against England in both the ODI and T20I formats.
Ahead of the high-octane clash, Dhawan and Iyer were spotted having fun. The stand-in Indian captain shared a picture on his Instagram stories, captioning it:
"When sky touches the sea."
Meanwhile, the tourists have already had a training session. However, they had to practice indoors with rain playing spoilsport.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a snippet from India's training on their Twitter handle. Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Shikhar Dhawan, and Shreyas Iyer were seen having a go at the nets, while young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh looked in rhythm.
Skipper Shikhar Dhawan and head coach Rahul Dravid were also seen having a chat as they face some tricky selection dilemmas ahead of the series opener.
