Virat Kohli at nets before the second ODI against West Indies.
Though the first one-day international between India and West Indies was abandoned due to rain in Port-of-Spain, the Indian cricket team came out to practice in nets on Saturday ahead of their second one-day international at the same venue.
In their net session, captain Virat Kohli sweated it out with other members of the team. The Board of Control for Cricket in India tweeted out pictures of the Indian captain from the practice session.
In other pictures, pace bowler Umesh Yadav was seen at the nets. He was seen bowling some off-cutters to the batsmen. In the same photo, former India captain and wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was been seen in the background with the ball in his hands.

In the first ODI, West Indies won the toss and elected to field. Batting first, India opened with Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane. Both openers played positive cricket and put on a 132-run stand for the first wicket before Rahane was caught at mid-on.
