Fresh from their series-leveling victory in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, some Indian players, including captain Virat Kohli, enjoyed a game of badminton and made a trip around the streets of Colombo on Tuesday.

The players had a day off after humbling the hosts by 278 runs at the P Sara Oval and denying Kumar Sangakkara a fairytale ending in his swansong Test, on Monday.

India take on Sri Lanka in the third and final Test of the series on Friday, August 28, at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo.
