SOUTHAMPTON: There is something about ICC World Cups where inevitably the connection between Indian media and the national team becomes frosty.
It wasn't great all the way through the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the start perceived to were on a discordant note all the way through this edition as neatly after the Indian media contingent decided to boycott an interaction session with web bowlers Deepak Chahar, Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed.
With two days left for India's first recreation in opposition to South Africa, it was once expected that at least coach Ravi Shastri or a senior player or toughen body of workers would address the media as it has been the norm in any bilateral collection with skipper Virat Kohli coming at the pre-match day.
However to everyone's disbelief, Indian team's media supervisor informed the ready journalists that since Chahar and Avesh are going back on Tuesday (Khaleel is staying back), it was once felt that they must get an opportunity to engage with the media.
Livid with the decision, senior contributors of the fraternity protested vehemently to this outrageous concept and he was once informed that if the team wants to cancel the session, they are loose to take action as it is unfair each for the media as well as the 2 youngsters, who shouldn't have any authority to answer team similar queries.
When requested why no player or toughen body of workers was once made available, the media supervisor stated that it was once executed since India have not started its World Cup campaign yet.
The common sense did not seem convincing as it has never came about two days prior to a marquee tournament. It appeared extra like a case where the Indian media was once being informed that it's a must to make do with no matter we make available for you.
This gave the impression to be in whole distinction with the connection that the jumbo Bangladeshi media proportion with their 'Tigers' or even the handful of Pakistani journalists with their players.
Many have been reminded of the 2015 World Cup, when there was once an entire gag on media save pre and post-match days and skipper Dhoni would come for each and every post-match interaction instead of day's performer, who could be interviewed by way of the official BCCI website.
Bumrah known as for random dope test
The Indian players could have had problems with NADA carrying out dope tests however on the world tournament, there is no such problem.
On Monday, it was once the turn of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was once picked up for the random test performed by way of the WADA accredited agency. There is not any particular machine that is followed and it could be anyone who could be known as for offering their urine pattern.
Rohit takes a knock all the way through throwdowns, carries on with out fuss
Rohit Sharma in full flow is a treat to observe even all the way through training periods and the Indian bowlers have been observed getting a style of their vice-captain's contact forward of the primary recreation in opposition to South Africa.
Rohit looked in highest keep an eye on as he hooked Mohammed Shami in the back of sq. and Khaleel Ahmed was once pulled in-front of sq. as they each tried to test him with short balls. But the maximum punishment was once reserved for Yuzvendra Chahal, who was once dispatched into stands on a couple of instance.
However there was once a fleeting second of scare, when he started taking throwdowns on the different web where a ball took off awkwardly and hit him at the gloves. For a couple of mins, he appeared in some ache because the toughen body of workers rushed to test on him. It appeared high-quality as he endured batting with none discomfort after that.
