Even as Team India preferred to stay put in their hotel rooms after landing here on Thursday, their arch-rivals Pakistan were seen sweating it out for a marathon three-hour (6-9 pm) practice session at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The Men in Green began with a casual round of football, followed by a team huddle and then an intense fielding workout that included slip-catching, high catches and outfielding. There was a keen emphasis on sharp, close-in fielding drills too, probably with an eye on containing the Indian batters, who have a tendency to rotate the strike through the middle overs.
