As India prepared for the Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh, KL Rahul practiced power-hitting, indicating a shift from his technical style. Challenging for a position in the XI, Rishabh Pant struggled with fitness. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli showed great form during training.

In a pivotal training session ahead of the Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh, Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul honed his big-hitting skills, marking a departure from his typically technical style.
