Moments after Virat Kohli lifted the trophy at the MA Chidambaram
Stadium in Chennai, having defeated England 4-0 in the five-match
series, the Indian team posed for the customary team photo behind the
placard which read ‘Champions’.
But more interestingly, the group
also included the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammed Shami, Wriddhiman
Saha and Hardik Pandya – all of whom had earlier been released due to
injury issue
Speaking
to CricketNext, a member of the Indian team said that the released
players had been called in for a day to Chennai as Kohli and Kumble
wanted everyone to be a part of the celebration before the team went on a
small Christmas break.
“The players had been informed — on behalf of the team — by the BCCI to come to Chennai for a day and all of them were more than happy to be a part of the celebration. As you know, this team is more like a family,” the player said
The reason behind the move to get the injured
players flown into Chennai on the last day of the Test match was none
other than skipper Kohli and coach Anil Kumble. The two have insisted on
team bonding and bonhomie and it was clearly evident on Tuesday Dec 20,2016
