Two Indian sides playing at the same time in two different continents is not really a frequent affair. However, it took place on Tuesday as one team was playing in a three-day warm-up game against County Select XI in Durham while another team was playing an ODI game in Sri Lanka.
But that didn't stop one team to have a glimpse of another during the breaks. Rohit Sharma, who is leading the Indian side in absence of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane was seen having fun while watching the other Indian team in action against Sri Lanka along with the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Axar Patel, Hanuma Vihari and Umesh Yadav.
