With Virat Kohli and Co. staying in the UK for the five-Test series against England starting August 4, a new Indian team with a mixture of experienced players and youngsters was selected with Shikhar Dhawan as the captain for the upcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka.
While the Men in Blue have completed their mandatory quarantine and begun their training, all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham and his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Ruturaj Gaikwad had a fun ‘Language Exchange’ on Thursday.
