Rain at Edgbaston, Birmingham, forced the Indian players to train indoors.

And what is training without that trademark game of football that the men in blue love so much?

Suresh Raina (left) and Ravindra Jadeja have been prolific in the Champions Trophy, so far.

Looks like they can play football with almost equal amounts of proficiency.

The man though who has truly stolen the limelight is Shikhar Dhawan.

With 216 runs from his two innings so far, Dhawan has a huge smile on his face and had reasons to back it up with.

Currently averaging 216 with a best of 114 in the tournament, Dhawan is also the top-scorer so far, ahead of Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara.

Rohit Sharma too has been in fine touch but an explosive knock seems to be round the corner. He has 117 runs from his two innings.

Skipper MS Dhoni has said that while the top-order has been firing all cylinders, the middle-order should also score big if required in a match.

Raina (in pic) will be the man to look at if India's top-half fails in any given scenario.

Dhoni on his part, has said that he and his team will not give a consolation win to Pakistan. With a packed house at Edgbaston, this dead-rubber will be more alive than possibly any other match in the tournament!
