Axar Patel eventually fell behind to make the drill for catching practice even funnier.
The Indian cricket squad has begun practicing in preparation for the World Test Championship final, which will take place at the Oval in England, barring the players who are currently competing in the ongoing Indian Premier League season.
On June 7, the match versus Australia will begin, and the Indian players are making sure they don't miss a step in their quest for a first championship. Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, and Umesh Yadav, among others, could be seen in a video that the BCCI posted on social media on Friday performing a "fun drill," and the conclusion was just delightfully perfect.
