Virat Kohli and his men sweat it out in the gym ahead of the 3rd ODI

Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his men decided to buff themselves up a bit in the gym prior to the third ODI against the West Indies on Friday. Tuesday was an off day for the team but the lads chose to hit the gym for some hardcore workout sessions instead of spending it casually.

Fitness has been a major criterion in the team selection under the leadership of Kohli and the mentorship of Shaker Basu. Star opener Shikhar Dhawan took to his Twitter handle and posted a video where ‘gabbar’ can be seen adding to his muscles by lifting weights with Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya in the background. The left-handed batsman who is currently enjoying the form of his life captioned the video saying “Off day or not, training is alwys on with fun !!

Promising all-rounder Hardik Pandya posed for a selfie along with Kedhar Jadhav, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a bicep show off. He added a line to the picture which read “”Gym culture at its best with the team. What an atmosphere for the fitness aficionados.”

About the series:

The next two One Day Internationals between the two teams will be played at the Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound. The 5^th ODI at Jamaica will mark the end of the ODI series followed by a T20 match at the same place.

The first match was abandoned due to rain at the Queens Park Oval while India emerged victorious in the 2^nd one in a 43 over the match. A magnificent hundred from Ajinkya Rahane helped India to register a colossal total of 310 runs. West Indies could manage only 205 runs while chasing the target at the loss of 6 wickets. Youngster Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the Indian bowlers with a 3 wicket haul on his debut performance.
