The Indian team is practicing in Melbourne for their ICC T20 World Cup 2022 tournament opener against Pakistan on October 23 which will be played in the MCG. Tickets for this high voltage clash were sold out in minutes and now all that remains is seeing these two Asian giants face off.
Given the consistent rains in Melbourne, which also threaten the match between India and Pakistan, the Men in Blue side practiced in indoor facilities.
During one such practice session, Indian bowlers R Ashwin and Shardul Thakur took turns to copy the bowling action of ace former India spinner Harbhajan Singh. Ashwin posted the video on social media and also asked Harbhajan to choose who was the closest.
Here is the video:
Meanwhile, the rain threat is a big concern for Indian and Pakistan fans, not only those who will fill the 90,000-capacity stadium but those as well, who will support from home. According to the forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology, there’s a high chance of heavy rainfall in Melbourne on Sunday – the day when two arch-rivals will revive the cricket rivalry at the MCG.
