'It's never this cold in Gujarat' - Akshar Patel
All-rounder Akshar Patel said, 'It is never this cold in Gujarat.' He asked the trainer, 'What is the temperature?' Hearing the trainer's reply, Akshar could not believe that the temperature in Mohali was 12 degrees. Akshar said that he felt more cold. While this was very difficult for Rinku Singh who was coming from Kerala after playing a Ranji Trophy match. It is not easy to bear the cold after the heat of Kerala. Coach Rahul Dravid also said that after coming from Bengaluru, he felt he was freezing in this cold.
Gill and Arshdeep are not feeling cold!
This is the home ground of Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh. So both the players were seen jokingly saying that it was not cold at all but smoke was coming out of their mouths. All-rounder Shivam Dubey said that playing in such cold weather is very challenging. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav was also finding it difficult to catch the ball due to the cold.
