The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a sneak peek of the Rohit Sharma-led side's training session in the "chilling" weather in Mohali.

In the video, the likes of Axar Patel, Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh could be seen fighting the cold during the practice session ahead of the first T20I against Afghanistan.

Not only the players but also Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid was finding it hard to adjust to such a low temperature at the venue. "Not that cold, huh?" Gill funnily says in the video, adding, "Actually, it's very cold.

Opener Ben Duckett believed that England's first innings total of 246 was above par and said they were not expecting Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma to play belligerent cricket from the word go on the first day of the first Test on Thursday. At stumps, India were placed at 119 for one with Jaiswal making a quick, unbeaten 76 and he shared a fine 80-run stand with Rohit in just 12.2 overs. "I think we're over par. It was a tricky Day 1 pitch with consistent spin from earlier on. Stokes was fantastic. I just said come down Day 3, Day 4, that could be a match winning knock if that pitch keeps getting harder to bat on," said Duckett in the post-day press meet.
