IND vs AUS: India cricketers celebrate Holi in team bus
Cricketers usually do not get to celebrate festivals with their families, but the team they’re with becomes their extended family. Currently, the Indian team is in Ahmedabad preparing for the fourth and final Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The match is set to begin on March 9, Thursday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Ahead of the final Test, members of the Indian team celebrated Holi, the festival of colors, in the team bus. Shubman Gill shared a video of the celebrations as all the cricketers were seen singing, dancing, and getting pictures clicked while being covered in all colors of Holi. In the video, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and former India skipper Virat Kohli were seen dancing while enjoying the festival with the team members.

India and Australia gear up for the fourth Test
After winning the first two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi, the Indian side lost the third game at Indore. The Indian top-order lineup needs to fire in the upcoming game. Rohit Sharma, who hit a century in the first game, has not managed to put up a memorable knock in the remainder of the series.
Shubman Gill, who made it to the playing combination in the third Test, was dismissed cheaply in both innings. Cheteshwar Pujara is in good form and would look to carry the same momentum in the final contest.
Indian stalwart Virat Kohli, who bounced back in form in the white-ball format after a string of poor outings, is still struggling in the red-ball game and would like to make the most out of the upcoming game. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel, the Indian all-rounders, have put up some great performances so far.
As for Australia, Matthew Kuhnemann took a five-wicket haul in the previous game and will be aiming to make the most out of Ahmedabad’s spin-friendly conditions. Usman Khawaja, who looked out of form initially, managed to do well for the side while opening the innings.
