Team India is in Kanpur for the 2nd Test against Bangladesh, which starts on September 27. To warm up Indian cricket fans, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared a video of Indian players enjoying their practice session at the Green Park Stadium.

The video starts with Ravindra Jadeja talking to the camera while pointing at Kuldeep Yadav. Jadeja uses a fake foreign accent to call Yadav, “Local boy! Man from Kanpur!” To that, Kuldeep screams out like a baby animal.

Next, we see Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, followed by captain Rohit Sharma. Gambhir gives instructions to his players. Beside Gambhir, Virat Kohli is seen listening to his Head Coach attentively. Jadeja then nods in agreement.

Ravichandran Ashwin, the Player of the Match in the Chennai Test, and Jasprit Bumrah are seen practising their bowling at the nets. Ashwin took 6 wickets for 88 runs in Bangladesh's second innings and scored 113 runs in India’s first innings.
