The Indian cricket team got down to business ahead of the Asia Cup starting on Wednesday, August 30.

'Prep mode on, energy levels high, getting into the groove in Alur. #TeamIndia #AsiaCup2023,' BCCI captioned the video posted on its X handle.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya were seen tonking the ball around in the nets as were recovering K L Rahul and Shreyas Iyer.

Rahul, who has been ruled out of India's opening two matches of the tournament, was seen practising with his wicket-keeping gloves.
