Mumbai : Team India is taking some time off these days but it turns out to be a break only from cricket. The team is still taking a part and care of their sponsorship commitments. Sachin Tendulka, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra were some of the players present at the launch of a new Adidas shoe. "When we shoot together we have a lot of fun. We pull each other's legs a lot and tell each other that you can't do this or you're giving the wrong expression. We enjoy ourselves," said Virender Sehwag. "Shooting is just for a day. The main focus for me are the tournaments in Amsterdam and England. I am looking forward to playing there and doing my country proud," said Ashish Nehra who was also present at the opening. The players were part of the Master Blaster Shoe Launch. A shoe designed for cricket in consultation with Sachin Tendulkar. The Master Blaster himself said that he was looking forward for the Indian team winning a few more finals. "To get to the finals you require a lot of effort. And there have been big games before the finals which we have won. But it's the team which wins the finals which is remembered. So we have to make a greater effort," said Tendulkar. Zaheer Khan's continuous injuries has meant that he will not be part of the team in Holland or England but the bowler says that he may use this time to go to Australia and try and cure himself of this injury altogether. "I may go to Australia to cure this because there is something wrong that I'm doing which is causing all these injuries. So I'll go there, get examined and get a direction on how I should work towards my fitness," said Khan.
