The Indian cricket team was taken for a cruise ride along Sydney Harbour by the country’s High Commission, which also hosted a dinner for the side.
“Team India was hosted by the Indian High Commission in Sydney on Sunday evening. It was a cruise ride along the harbour on ‘Showboat’ with the high commissioner, Biren Nanda welcomed the team,” the BCCI said in a release.
Mr. Nanda addressed the gathered contingent, praising the Indian team for the fight it has shown in the three Tests of the series against Australia so far and wished it all the best for the long tour, including the World Cup.
Captain Virat Kohli spoke on behalf of his team when he thanked the High Commission for the delightful cruise.
“We are delighted to be on this cruise. It is very different from the usual High Commission functions,” he said.
“After the speeches and exchange of pleasantries, the guests were seated down for dinner. After a delightful ride of about 90 minutes, the ship docked on the harbour and the team got back to the hotel.”
