Marting from a 10-wicket thrashing at the hands of hosts Australia in the Adelaide Test, Team India are gearing up for the upcoming third clash of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Brisbane Test with intense net sessions.

On Tuesday, the players were seen putting in the hard yards as they fine-tuned their skills under the watchful eyes of head coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morne Morkel.

In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the players were seen sweating it out.

Captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli led the charge in the nets, focusing on their defensive techniques.

Kohli was particularly noted for his check drives, emphasizing a solid technique.

Sharma, on the other hand, practiced a mix of defensive strokes and backfoot drives, showcasing his versatility.

Opener KL Rahul, who had an impressive outing in the first Test, continued to demonstrate his strong defensive game.

His partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, was in a contrasting mood, aggressively hitting the ball.
