The Indian cricket team has reached the Caribbean islands for the all-format tour of the West Indies. Upon touchdown, the players indulged themselves in a beach volleyball session. Ishan Kishan, one of the wicket-keeper batters in the squad, turned into a cameraman, capturing the enthralling volleyball game between players. The team's superstar batter Virat Kohli was also seen showcasing his volleyball skills in what seemed like a fun session for the team ahead of the gruelling cricketing assignment that awaits them.
The video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India starts with in-flight shots before giving a glimpse of Barbados, where the team is staying at present. The video then jumps straight into the volleyball game between players.
