Watch: First Glimpse Of 156.7 Kmph Fast Bowling Sensation Mayank Yadav In India Colours

The Indian cricket team registered an impressive 2-0 victory in the recently-concluded Test series and now the focus shifts to the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh starting Sunday. The somewhat new-look India team started practice ahead of the first match in Gwalior and bowling coach Morne Morkel had the opportunity to work with the fast bowlers.
