Rohit Sharma-led Team India jetted off to Australia from Mumbai early Thursday morning as they embark on the journey to win the T20 World Cup 2022. BCCI on Thursday shared pictures of the Indian contingent comprising of all the players and the support staff as they left for Down Under.
On Friday, BCCI shared a video of the Indian players as they geared up for ‘Mission Melbourne.’ The video showed players getting ready as they put on their blazers and it has to be said that the Men in Blue sure looked dapper in their formals.
The clip further showed Indian players Ravichandran Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rahul Dravid giving autographs to all the fans who had gathered at the hotel in Mumbai to give a farewell to the players.
