The Indian cricket team found an enjoyable way to pass the time during a rain-induced break on Day 2 of the second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park in Kanpur on Saturday, September 28. With continuous rain disrupting play, some Indian players, including Ravichandran Ashwin, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, and Dhruv Jurel, were seen engaging in a lively game of footvolley at an indoor facility.
The rain had forced the team to leave the stadium and return to their hotel, with only 35 overs of play being possible on the opening day. Despite the wet weather conditions halting the match, the Indian players maintained a positive spirit, showcasing their competitive energy in indoor activity.
Dinesh Karthik, the cricketer-turned-commentator, shared the fun moment on social media, posting pictures of the footvolley session. Along with the images, Karthik humorously captioned the post, “Foot volley situation, thanks to rain.”
The indoor activity highlighted the team’s camaraderie and provided a refreshing break from the waiting game caused by the rain. Fans will be hoping for clearer skies as the match progresses, with India looking to gain an advantage in the Test series against Bangladesh.
