Despite being locked in their hotel rooms, the Indian players are keen not to let their guard down as they prepare for the Test series against England, which begins in Chennai on Friday, Februat 5.

The players, who will undergo six days of mandatory quarantine in their rooms at the Leela in Chennai, are looking to keep up their high fitness standards by training indoors using gym equipment like a treadmill or the indoor cycling bike.

Fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who missed the tour of Australia with injury, looks keen to bounce back strongly as he can be seen doing a few stretches in his room.

'Ending quarantine day 4 with a quick workout!' Ishant captions his post on Instagram on Saturday.

Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane shared a video of him running on the treadmill in his hotel room.
