Ahead of the five-match Test series against England, Virat Kohli & Co. played a one-off practice match against Essex County Cricket Club.
India failed to bowl out the county side in 94 overs before Shikhar Dhawan suffered another batting failurꦓe on the final day. He was clean bowled on duck in the 2nd innings after facing 3 deliveries.
Wh💝ile th♈e Indian team management may have a few things to ponder over, ahead of the all-important rubber, the cricketers sure did enjoy their time at the game.
Captain Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan were seen dancing during the traditional welcome they got w𒁏hile entering the County Cricket Gr🐼ound at Chelmsford.
Two players have enjoyed their time at Ch💯elmsꩵford!
