Minutes before the fourth ODI in Bangalore, as the Indian players practised their fielding drills, one could gauge a sense of casualness. Half an hour into the Australian batting innings, the negligence was evident as the players fumbled on the outfield while the bowlers missed their lengths. During the practice session on Saturday here in Nagpur, the intent that was missing in Bangalore was back. Despite temperatures climbing in the high 30s, all the players, except Yuzvendra Chahal went through a rigorous workout. The stiff competition in the team means that training sessions virtually become a shootout between players.
