Indians chill out indoors at team hotel

Dhaka:

Indian cricketers enjoyed the rest day by chilling out in the confines of the team hotel as going outdoors being not advisable due to security concerns.

The team did not have a practice session today ahead of their crucial second match against Bangladesh on Thursday.

The players had light workouts at the hotel gymnasium in the morning and in the afternoon they hung out at the poolside and at a couple of showrooms in the hotel.

Yuvraj Singh had a long swimming session at the pool at the ground floor of the hotel and that was the best shot the few Indian cameramen covering the tri-series got today.

Ashish Nehra, Gautam Gambhir and Amit Mishra, besides maverick pacer S Sreesanth, spent some time at the poolside with the Delhi trio seen having a great time among themselves with animated conversations.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sreesanth and Mishra shopped at the musical outlet at the ground floor. The shop owner said they bought mostly DVDs of English movies and chocolates.

Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara also came down in the evening to buy some DVDs and CDs and had a chat with Mishra, who was already there to buy his choice of DVDs.

Sangakkara came without any security personnel around him even though the Sri Lankan team has come here with their own security experts.
