IND vs Prime Ministers XI: The Men in Blue's preparation for the Pink ball Test, which will be held in Adelaide is going on in full flow, where lots of important players were seen attending training sessions for the day-night match along with the ongoing warm-up match against Prime Minister's XI at Manuka Oval. A few fans took videos of the training session, where India's star bowler Jasprit Bumrah was seen bowling to Virat Kohli, as the star duo are gearing for the Adelaide Test match.

As the Rohit Sharma-led side are doing everything in their power to lead in the ongoing five-match Test series by 2-0, the sublime form of star batter Virat Kohli, who scored a hundred in the series opener and pacer Bumrah, who took a five-for, will play a huge role.

A video went viral on social media, where Bumrah is seen bowling with the pink ball to Kohi, who was seen defending the vice-captain with a defensive stroke.

Bumrah was given a rest from bowling in the warm-up match against PM-XI as he would be playing a huge role during the second Test. Harshit Rana continued his sublime form as he took a four-wicket haul and thus cemented his position as one of the top pacers to be picked for the Adelaide Test after his dream debut in the series opener last month.

Inda's batting order is still in the air

At the same time, there were speculations as to whether Kohli would bat during the warmup match against Prime Minister XI as the visitors were chasing a target of 241 runs in 46 overs in the rain-induced one-day match in Canberra.

It should be noted here that KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal once again opened the innings for the Men in Blue as Rohit Sharma sacrificed his position as an opener after missing the series opener in Perth and was aiming to bounce back in the longest format. Shubman Gill came into bat at no.3 position although his position in the playing XI would also give the team management a headache and skipper Rohit came into bat at no.4 position.

Besides Rana, Australia's upcoming talent Sam Konstas also shone brightly for PM-XI as he batted aggressively as a top-order batter and scored a hundred against India's star bowlers. Since Nathan McSweeney was seen struggling in his debut Test match, Konstas too can make his Test debut as an opener in the ongoing series.
