As per the source, the Indian cricket board has strictly restricted the players from going trekking or paragliding in Dharamsala to avoid breaching their contract with the board. The players can take these two days as leisure days but are prohibited from these two adventure activities for safety purposes.
“The team management has informed players that they can’t go trekking, they can go out but can’t do trekking. At the same time during the series no Indian player can even do paragliding as it can go against the player contract,” said the source
Captain Rohit Sharma expresses his happiness with the team’s performance
In the post-match ceremony Rohit Sharma of India’s match against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma talked about the team’s consistent performance, he said, “Good start to the tournament. The job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the opportunity with both hands. He has experience in these conditions and is a class bowler. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus. Credit to our bowlers at the back end.”
“I am enjoying my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) complement each other. Happy that we won. There’s not much to say. He (Kohli) has done this for us so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back when we lost a few wickets in the middle”, he added.
“The fielding is something we pride ourselves on. Today the fielding wasn’t clinical. Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders in the world. These things happen. We know that fielding is something that will decide a lot of things going forward. We love travelling and playing in different parts of the game”, concluded Rohit.
