Life is great in the India team camp. After leveling the three-Test series against Sri Lanka at Colombo's P Sara Oval on Monday, captain Virat Kohli has been leading his men in recreational activities around the Lankan capital.
Kohli was first seen playing badminton with teammates Harbhajan Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Interestingly, the 26-year-old teamed up with the veteran spinner against the pace duo on the other end of the court. There were smashes and there were low dips but in the end, it was all about working up a good sweat in a sport other than cricket.
Of course, nothing feels better after an intense badminton battle than a ride in an open tuk tuk (autorickshaw). And so, Kohli chose to take a ride in an auto with Harbhajan and all-rounder Stuart Binny.
The trio posed for a photograph as well which showed the 'Turbanator' at the wheels.

Earlier, the Indian players tucked into seafood and enjoyed the sun in Galle's lovely beaches.
The third and final Test starts from Friday (August 28). A relaxed Indian side looks confident now to make the most of the momentum and win a Test series in Sri Lanka for the first time since 1993.
