Ravichandran Ashwin, the star Indian spinner, earlier said that the team reached early in Australia to get accustomed to the weather.

“Two weeks to go for the 20-20 World Cup and it is a marquee event and we are taking it as seriously we can. We are here to acclimatise because we have never been in Australia during this time,” Ashwin was quoted as saying after the first practice match.  

Meanwhile, after the Indian Cricket Board uploaded the video of the Indian team’s outing, the fans went crazy and slammed the board for allowing players to let go with ease. Further, fans opined that the team needs more practice and have to work hard ahead of such a crucial tournament.

“When you come to Australia, the boundaries are far bigger, gives license to the bowlers to work with. It is also very important to know the lengths you have to bowl so you got to be brave enough to take 50-50 options in these places,” the spinner was quoted as saying after the match.
