Dubai: What better way of unwinding if you get to spend time at the beach? Team India did just that after energy-sapping Pakistan game, and then beating Hong Kong connivingly at the Asia Cup. Virat Kohli, Arshdeep Singh, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, KL Rahul, among others were seen having a gala time in Dubai at the beach. Skipper Rohit was seen paddling his boat while others too made the most of the gap before the next match.
