Both Dhawan and Iyer, however, said that they will take things slowly instead of rushing into tough training.

“We were told to go for round three. Initially it was very difficult but after that the lungs opened up. I started with short drills and then asked my throw down specialists to dodge a few deliveries and then pick up the pace while batting at the start,” Iyer said.

The Indian team management will have to do their bit to finalize the XI as Dhawan and Rahul’s replacements – Ishan Kishan and debutant Deepak Hooda – did nothing wrong in the opportunity they got in the last ODI. Kishan forged a solid partnership with Rohit Sharma while Hooda remained unbeaten with Suryakumar Yadav to drive India home.
