ET sessions sometimes work as a giant book of revelation. The sessions can reveal what's been discussed inside the dressing room. What is on a batter's mind; or what line a bowler would be looking at or what length he would prefer.

A cold, breezy Saturday welcomed India cricket team to Melbourne. The conditions did not deter Rohit Sharma and Co to sweat it out during the intense training session in the first half of the day here. Having arrived in the city after the draw in Brisbane, India had a rest day before turning up at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
