The Indian cricket team sweated it out in Colombo as the Shikhar Dhawan-led side geared up for the upcoming three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka. Members of the Indian contingent, who arrived in Sri Lanka on June 28, competed in an intra-squad match to begin their preparation for the upcoming limited-overs series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to share pictures from the intra-squad match. In the pictures, India's stand-in skipper Dhawan can be seen playing a reverse sweep while vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also seen rolling his arm over during the practice game. Youngsters like Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad were also clicked as they took the field on Monday.

"High Energy Full-On Intensity. A productive day in the field for #TeamIndia during their T20 intrasquad game in Colombo," the photos were captioned.
The ODI series will kick start on July 13 with the second and third games to be played on July 16 and 18 respectively.
After the ODI series, both teams will compete in a three-match Twenty20 International series, starting July 21.
All six matches will be played at the same venue -- R Premadasa Stadium.
