India practice match highlights: India warm up match today video vs Leicestershire
India practice match highlights: The Indian batters struggled on their first outing of the ongoing tour of England.
During the first day of a one-off practice match between Leicestershire and India in Leicester, India scored 246/8 in 60.2 overs after captain Rohit Sharma (25) won the toss and chose to bat.
While India managed to score at a run rate in excess of 4, none of their specialist batters managing a half-century wasn’t an encouraging sign for them on Thursday.
Had it not been for wicket-keeper batter Srikar Bharat’s half-century, India would’ve easily been bundled out by Stumps especially after losing half their side for 81 runs. Bharat, who will resume the Indian innings alongside Mohammed Shami (18*) on Day 2, is playing on 70* (111) with the help of eight fours and a six.

Coming in to bat at No. 7 in the 24th over, Bharat did what most other Indian batters failed to do on Day 1, i.e., spend time in the middle. In spite of not coming on the back of a fruitful Indian Premier League 2022 season, Bharat seems to be determined enough to leave a mark despite knowing that he might have to warm the bench against England from July 1.
