Rohit, Virat Kohli leave for Mumbai to be with family hours after Pune loss; IND set 'compulsory' rule ahead of 3rd Test

The third and final Test match of the series will be played in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, starting November 1

India incurred an embarrassing low on Saturday as New Zealand scripted a 113-run victory in the second Test match in Pune to snap their 12-year unbeaten Test series streak at home.

According to a report in The Indian Express, moments after the loss, India captain Rohit, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul drove to Mumbai to be with their family. The rest of the Indian players and the members of the support staff will reach the city, which will host the third and final Test match of the series, starting November 1, on Sunday. The players also have been given a two-day break before they regroup for the Wankhede clash.


No 'optional training' for India





The report further said that following the end of the two-day break in Mumbai, they will have to attend the two practice sessions in the lead up to the series finale. “The team management has asked the players to be present for two days of practice on October 30 and 31. It’s compulsory and no one can skip it,” a source informed the national daily.
