India's tour of South Africa being postponed by a few days has given Indian cricketers an opportunity to sharpen their skills a bit more.
Newly-appointed Test vice-captain Rohit Sharma began preparations for the tour by having a training session in Mumbai on Friday. The opening batter was seen working with throwdown specialists on a pitch that offered pace and bounce.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami also returned to the nets at the National Cricket Academy where was seen bowling to Kuldeep Yadav. Shami and Rohit Sharma were rested from the recently-concluded Test series vs New Zealand. India's tour to South Africa begins with a 3-match Test series starting December 26.
