Indian team’s flight to Australia was delayed from Mumbai airport and some of the players were engrossed in PUBG while others had foot massage.
“What flight delays do to you. A foot massage for @rahulkl PUBG for @manishpandeyinsta & @krunalpandya_official (sic),” the Indian cricket team’s official Instagram account posted with pictures.
This is not the first time that the Indian players were captured playing PUBG. During the home series against the West Indies, BCCI had posted similar pictures on Twitter.
India will play three T20Is, four Tests and three ODIs in Australia, starting on November 21.
