K.L. Rahul practised just sweeps, reverse sweeps and slog hits in the side nets and Shreyas Iyer faced a barrage of short balls during India’s training session on Thursday ahead of the opening game against Australia at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.
Taking throwdowns — twice within a gap of 15 minutes — Rahul played attacking shots, often forcing the bowlers to take evasive actions.
For Shreyas, the focus was more on his ability to play the short-pitch deliveries.
