India's third Test against Sri Lanka starts on December 2. It follows the second Test that ended on November 28. India wrapped up that match within four days which means they had a day extra in their hands. They made quality use of that time, as was evident from their social media posts. Captain Virat Kohli was especially busy. He was seen with girlfriend and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma at former pacer Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's wedding reception. He then attended the first annual Delhi and Districts Cricket Administration Conclave where he was felicitated for getting to 50 international hundreds. (Source: Instagram)

Ravichandran Ashwin has just come back from a long break and so he decided to stick with the team. He uploaded photos of himself with fielding coach R Sridhar at the Pench Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh. (Source: Twitter)

Ashwin was left out of the Indian ODI sides that played New Zealand and Australia. In that period he got involved in country cricket and spent some time with his family. (Source: Instagram)

Shikhar Dhawan chose to be with family and friends. As Virat Kohli pointed out when he spoke about India's "cramped" schedule, spending time with family will be on the top of their minds whenever they do get a break. (Source: Instagram)

Hardik Pandya was rested for the Sri Lanka Test series and so he got busy elsewhere. The all-rounder has been uploading pics of him on the covers of sports magazines all round. (Source: Instagram)

Ashwin took four wickets on Day 4 of the second Test in Nagpur to wrap up the Sri Lankan innings. He became the fastest to get to 300 Test wickets in the process. Virat Kohli had scored a double century during India's innings. Sri Lanka lost that match by an innings and 239 runs, the worst defeat they have ever suffered in Test cricket.
