In a what can be termed as a first in Indian cricket team's team bonding exercise, the senior players along with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the 'A' team players like Varun Aaron enjoying a jam session, where they were all seen playing drums with Vasundhara and his musical group.
BCCI released a picture of the Indian team members enjoying a musical session with Vasundhara, who has also acted in critically acclaimed films like Hey Ram (with Kamal Hassan) and Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding.
It is an activity where "a group of people seated in a circle, plays drums together".
