Why are Ashwin, Rahul creating a racquet?

Team India has started outdoor training sessions in Sydney for the limited overs series against Australia.

Ravichandran Ashwin and K L Rahul spent time sharpening their skills in an innovative net session on Monday.

BCCI posted a video in which Ashwin is using a tennis racquet to throw volleys to Rahul who is seen practicing pull shots.

'How is that for innovation?' BCCI asked.

The Indian team and support staff are in 14-day quarantine, but have been allowed to train after testing negative in their first COVID-19 test.
