New Delhi: Hyderabad was drenched in rain on Tuesday evening, but that didn't cease the defending champions – Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – from their practice session ahead of 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
It seems like the Indian duo Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan found a unique way to keep on with their practice. Both took their sessions indoors, continuing with tennis ball. The official account of IPL posted a video of it on Twitter saying, "Rain? No problem! We will have a hit indoors. @YUVSTRONG12 & @SDhawan25 at it. @SunRisers' captain @davidwarner31 on bowling duty #IPL."
The video shows the skipper, David Warner, trying his hands out at bowling, while Dhawan pulled off a few shots.

Moments later, the official Twitter account of SRH posted a video showing all-rounder Yuvraj playing few shots, while former Indian pacer Javagal Srinath was with the ball.

The Hyderabad-based team is all geared up to take on RCB in the season opener on Wednesday in Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal.
But, the met department has a little bad news – there is a slight possibility that rain might spoil the highly anticipated opener.
