New Delhi: The Indian team took some time off from their busy schedule as they went out for bonding session ahead of their second warm-up match against Bangladesh in London.
India beat New Zealand in their first match and now take on Bangladesh in their final warm-up clash before the all important Champions Trophy clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 4.
The team is not leaving any stones unturned in getting ready for their title defense and doing all they can to familiarise with the conditions as soon as possible. Kohli, Rohit and Rahane were seen hitting the ball hard in the nets on the eve of the Bangladesh match.
