The Indian cricket team is currently playing a day night warm up game against Australia starting on Friday. The contest is expected to serve as preparation for the first test in Adelaide. The three day game is held at the floodlit Sydney cricket ground. Indian captain Virat Kohli didn’t take part in the game and hinted that he wants go on with his own preparation. An extra spinner in Kuldeep Yadav or an additional batsman in Hanuman Vihari, the selection choice will be a big consideration for Indians.

Large number of people in his own country hate the people of community which he belongs. They should see how kind people they are. Hatts off to Siraj. 🙏
