While the Indian players enjoyed a couple of off days in Dharamshala, head coach Rahul Dravid and his support staff decided to spend some time trekking in Triund during the break after their win over New Zealand.
In a recent video posted by the BCCI, Dravid as well as batting coach Vikram Rathour were seen sharing their experiences of the trek. The entire support staff also clicked pictures together and made some great memories.
Here's the video:
Rahul Dravid wishes Indian players and his children do the trek one day
Head coach Rahul Dravid was just in awe of the scenic beauty that he witnessed during the Triund trek. He accepted that it was a bit challenging at first but he is delighted that he could complete it.
On this, here's what he said in the video:
"Superb view getting here up to Triund. You're getting up the mountain, climbing, it's a challenging trek I must admit it. Once you come here, the view is just spectacular. Its incredible I think, terrific for the support staff to be able to come here. It's a great day out as well."
Dravid further added:
"Unfortunately can't bring the boys up here. It will be a bit too risky (laughs) walking on those stones. But hopefully, one day when they're not playing, will love some of the boys to come and experience this.
"There are so many place that are just rich in nature and diversity and places that we can explore and are still so beautiful and untouched. I hope we keep it that way. I would love my children to do this one day."
All-rounder Hardik Pandya continues to be in a race against time to get fit for India's next game against England in Lucknow on October 29. The hosts could go in with the same team that beat New Zealand by four wickets last Sunday.
