A tough and gruelling time awaits for the Indian cricket team when they face the West Indies in their own backyard in the seven-week long tour. The tour begins on July 21 but the team is already in the Caribbeans to soak up the atmosphere and get accustomed to the condition. And, it seems that they are finding it tough to adjust to the weather and atmosphere. In fact, they seem to be in awe of it.
Virat Kohli and Co. seems to be excited by its Caribbean sojourn and the enthusiasm was palpable in the images shared by some of the cricketers on social media sites from St Kitts. While some of them have hit the beautiful beach to unwind, others are just recharging their batteries in the resort they have been put up. After all, it’s important to be fresh ahead of a tough series which begins July 21.
