Bhubaneswar: After thrashing West Indies team in the second ODI by 107 runs to level the series 1-1, Team India took a much-needed break from the practice ahead of the third and final game at Cuttack.
And with no practice scheduled for Friday, the Men in Blue utilised the opportunity to get the much "needed" break to refresh themselves. India skipper Virat Kohli put some pictures on social media where he is seeing enjoying the "day off" with his teammates.
"A day off and an afternoon with the boys is exactly what we needed," Kohli wrote along with the pictures he put on Instagram.
After facing a crushing eight-wicket defeat in the first ODI in Chennai, the Men in Blue came out with a much-improved performance in the second match.
While they first put a solid show with the bat, riding on brilliant centuries from Rohit Sharma and K.L. Rahul, it was followed by a fiery burst from Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in the death overs. The hosts then rode on a record-breaking hat-trick from left-arm chinaman Kuldeep Yadav to bowl out the visitors for 280.
