For the Indian team, the action in the middle is something they will cherish. They are also enjoying the state-of-the-art security and hospitality provided by the hosts.
The team is being protected by Sri Lankan Special Forces armed with MP-5 guns, the same machinery used by the American Navy Seals and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams.
A two-layer security cover also consists of special commandos in plain clothes that have been given strict instructions to protect the team at any cost.
To make Virat Kohli and Co. feel at home, well-known hospitality firm Jetwing have brought in their best chefs for the Indian team's meals in the dressing room. "We know roti is a staple diet of Indians so we decided to import the best atta from India before the series," a senior chef of Jetwing told mid-day yesterday.
"We have prepared different menus for the five days based on the requirement and demands of the Indian team management," he added.
Some of the Indian cricketers' families are also traveling with the team and have also been enjoying the same meal. "Yellow daal, roti, curds, juices and fresh fruits are some of the most consumable items in the Indian dressing room," the chef said.
