India head coach Ravi Shastri who is currently in the UK with Team India for the ongoing five-match Test series against hosts England recently took to Twitter and shared a video with a caption saying he is missing "Bouncer, Beamer, Flipper, Skipper, Yorker"- his pets.
In the video, the five pups are seen enjoying their meals to the fullest with their wagging tails adding cuteness to the episode.
“My buddies Bouncer, Beamer, Flipper, Skipper, Yorker tucking in to their lunch on a rare sunny day on the west coast in India. Miss you guys . See you soon,” the former India cricketer wrote as the caption to his video.

As far as the Test series is concerned, India went 1-0 up in this five-match series, thanks to an epic win in the second Test at Lord's. After Lord’s, both teams clash in the third Test in Headingley in Leeds from 25 August.
While BCCI shared pictures of Indian players sweating it out in the nets, England on the other hand, was dealt a blow ahead of the Test when fast bowler Mark Wood was ruled out with a shoulder injury.
Thus, with a lot of key players missing from this England squad, it will be interesting to see the combination the hosts go with in the third Test against powerhouse India.
