<p>The Rohit Sharma-led team trained in the “chilling” Mohali weather, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) offered a sneak peak at it. Axar Patel, Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, and Arshdeep Singh, among others, were shown in the video battling the cold during the practice session before to the first Twenty20 international against Afghanistan. It was difficult for Rahul Dravid, the head coach of the Indian squad, and the players to acclimate to the very low temperature at the location.</p>

<p>“Not that cold, huh?” In the video, Gill quips in a humorous way, “It’s actually really cold.” It would probably be around seven degrees. I just keep my hands in my pockets, but unless you have hand warmers with you, I wouldn’t suggest doing that.”</p>
<p>Rinku remarked, “Bhai sahab bahut thand hai,” in the meanwhile. Kerala mein dekho abhi main ka domestic ka match khel ke aaya hoon. May-June waali, wahan par aisi garmi thi [Very chilly]. It was very hot there when I just returned after playing a domestic match (UP vs. Kerala, Ranji Trophy).”</p>
<p>“Gujarat mein jab sardi apne peak pe hoti hai, tab bhi itna thand nahi hota (Even when the winter in Gujarat is at its peak, it is not so cold as in Mohali),” said Axar.</p>

In light of the fact that Indian players won’t have many opportunities to play as a unit before the T20I World Cup in June, head coach Dravid acknowledged on Wednesday that they must maintain mental flexibility.</p>
<p>The last Twenty20 International assignment for India before the world cup is the three-match series against Afghanistan, which gets underway in Mohali on Thursday.</p>
<p>In that regard, Dravid said that the management’s choice of the squad would also need to rely somewhat on the IPL 2024.</p>
