When the team got to the ground for their 9:30 am training sessions, a quick speech from Virat Kohli got them all pumped up. The former India skipper spoke to the team for roughly 10 minutes before the squad got straight into their fielding sessions. The big difference from Adelaide though was the heat.
It was only 26°C but the sun was harsh and if the weather remains that way, then the bowlers won't have an easy time in the middle. That is perhaps why it was nice to see Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj pushing themselves through a long 30-minute session in the nets.
The duo has to manage its workload as its presence is vital for India in the series. Both were focussed and proactive with Bumrah even offering advice to Nitish Kumar Reddy as the session got underway.
But a net session can be so much yet it can be so little at the same time. For example, skipper Rohit Sharma faced the new ball in the nets on Thursday.
