Indian cricket team players had a rare day off on Friday as they utilised it by playing a completely different sport to unwind and let off some steam before getting back to the grind in the ICC T20 World Cup.

The players enjoyed their day off at a beach in Dubai where they also played volleyball.

The entire squad participated in the game of beach volleyball and a video of their match was posted on social media by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

“A game of beach volleyball as #TeamIndia unwinds in their day off!” the Indian cricket board wrote.

India lost their opening game by 10 wickets against Pakistan in the Super 12 and are now getting ready to face New Zealand in a must-win clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

A defeat for either side will make it very hard for them to stay in the race to qualify for the semi-finals as India and New Zealand both lost their opening encounters against Babar Azam’s Pakistan in Group 2.

India are sweating on the fitness of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who injured his shoulder in the first game and also hasn’t been bowling due to a recurring back issue which has plagued him since 2018.

Pandya bowled in the nets on Wednesday for a short span of time but it remains unclear as to whether he will be able to roll his arm over in the upcoming match or not. The 28-year-old has bowled just 19 overs so far in 2021 and last bowled for Team India on the tour of Sri Lanka in July.

Shardul Thakur is waiting in the wings and can be called upon to replace Pandya as the sixth-bowling option which the team dearly missed against Pakistan.
