The new head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday took charge of Team India as the visitors hit the ground running in their first practice session here, ahead of three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka.
Gambhir, who replaced the legendary Rahul Dravid at the helm, led the team to the ground and oversaw the training session which included fielding drills and sessions with the players.
The training session was mostly around running, catching and one-on-one interactions. The new T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav was also involved in an interaction with the players.
