Kohli posed with KL Rahul, Shardul Thakur, and Bumrah for the picture and he wrote, "Back at it ????????????". Bumrah wrote returning to the field is the best start to his weekend, while Jadeja captioned the post, "Business hours ????".
Rohit wrote it's time to get back to work after the three-week off from cricket is over. "चलो भाई, छुट्टी खत्म… अब काम शुरू! ????????????????," he captioned the post in Hindi. Apart from them, Rahul, Akshar Patel, and Umesh Yadav also shared pictures on Twitter.
The warm-up match will be played behind closed doors and 90 overs will be bowled each day. Durham Cricket will broadcast the game on its Youtube channel.
India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant won't be a part of the match as he's in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. Even Wriddhiman Saha is in isolation after coming in contact with one of the staff members who tested positive. Rahul is likely to keep wickets in the warm-up match.
