Check out India Test captain Virat Kohli and opener Shikhar Dhawan take stunning catches during their training session ahead of the series against West Indies
The Indian team is training rigorously for their four-Test series against the West Indies.
India will take on West Indies Cricket Board Presidents' XI in the final warm-up match starting at Basseterre in St Kitts on Thursday as they look to plug the holes and provide the finishing touches to their preparation for the four-Test series.

The three-day match will more or less decide the final playing XI for India and both the batsmen and bowlers will look to make their performance count and earn a place when Kumble and Kohli sit down to select the team for the first Test at Antigua starting July 21.
Now, Kohli as skipper and opener Shikhar Dhawan are certainties in the India playing XI, but that doesn't mean they aren't putting in long hours in the nets.

Kohli and Dhawan went through a tiring session of catching with fielding coach Abhay Sharma.
The duo who man the slips in the longest format of the game were being made to dive around while taking the stunning catches.
