The video shows that Dilip has set three targets having different points to hit for the players from a certain distance. Gambhir is seen enjoying the activity with a smile on his face.

Keep aside the captaincy part, the disappointment may still be there in Pandya's heart, but on the field he is sharing laughs, enjoying the practice sessions and must be eager to give his 100 percent.
