Hyderabad:The Indian cricket team is up against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series and they have taken an unassailable 1-0 lead in the series. After winning the first Test in Chennai, the team arrived in Kanpur on Tuesday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India shared a video of the fun trip by the Indian players on their ‘X’ handle and it included some interesting moments in the journey.

The video shared by BCCI showed that the players were in high spirits and they were seen cracking jokes. Sarafaraz Khan was seen chanting 'Yashu, Yashu' for Jaiswal and the left-handed batter commented that he has a fan following like Sachin Tendulkar.

"I have a craze like Sachin Tendulkar," said Jaiswal.

Afterwards, the focus was turned towards Ravichandran Ashwin as pacer Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja decided to call him ‘Ash anna’. The duo then would say Ash Anna for a reason.

Ashwin was seen saying that his teammates are bullying him in the video.

"They are just bullying me,” he opined.

India dominated the first Test in Chennai and inked a 280-run over the opposition. R Ashwin starred in the match scoring a century and taking six wickets in the second innings. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant also contributed in the victory by scoring centuries. India have now taken a 1-0 lead in the series and they have ensured a loss wouldn’t be conceded in the series.
