After finishing the Test series with a convincing win, Virat Kohli-led Team India will look to carry forward the similar momentum going into the limited-over competition. The Indian contingent have already arrived at Ahmedabad, the venue for all the five T20I matches, and are toiling at the nets.
BCCI shared a video of the training session on their Twitter handle, which shows every member of the team engaged in intense training session. In the video, India's premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya can be seen hitting the big shots, while others like Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and KL Rahul were also seen engaged in intense batting sessions.
Here is the video:
