It is part of the Test series which started last year. The Indian team is currently leading the series by 2-1.
The warm up match between India and Leicestershire XI ended up in a draw. There was an amazing atmosphere at the Uptonsteel County ground. Several cricket fans came there to witness the Indian superstars in action. After the end of the 4th day, some interesting pictures went viral.
There was a great exhibition of Indian culture in the form of Bhangra, Dhols at Uptonsteel County ground. There were several people with Dhols in their hands. Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon and former England cricketer Phillip Defreitas also joined the performers for the celebration.
Both of them seem to be enjoying playing Dhol in the video. The county ground also turned into a musical fest with Queen classic ‘We will rock you’ echoed around the ground with lots of cheers. It was great to see foreign coaches enjoying the Indian culture. Leicestershire Foxes twitter handle posted a video of it with caption,”Head coach steals the show .Head coach @Paulnico199 & England legend @cricketdaffy are a vibe.”
