Team India are dominating Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home as they won the first two Tests inside three days.

While the hosts thrashed Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the opening Test in Nagpur, they won the second game in Delhi by six wickets.

Ahead of the third Test, slated to get underway in Indore from March 1, Indian players were seen sharpening up their catching skills.

BCCI shared a video on Twitter with the caption, “Fun times in the field ft.@imVkohli. #TeamIndia sharpen their catching skills ahead of the 3rd #INDvAUS Test in Indore.”

The clip showed star batter Virat Kohli kneeling and spraying catches around to teammates like Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer.

Here’s the video:

India may have taken an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the four-match series but their slip catching wasn’t up to the mark in the first two Tests. In particular, Kohli dropped quite a few catches in Nagpur and Delhi.

Meanwhile, Gill taking part in the fielding session could be an early indication that he will be preferred in the playing XI over out-of-form KL Rahul for the third Test match.
