The
players
also
shared
their
interesting
travel
stories
from
past
journeys
while
also
disclosed
what
they
will
be
watching
on
the
flight.
The
responses
come
from
Navdeep
Saini,
Devdutt
Padikkal,
KS
Bharat,
Sachin
Baby,
Pavan
Deshpande,
Muhammad
Azharudeen,
and
Suyash
Prabhudessai.

India
pacer
Navdeep
Saini
shared
his
thoughts
on
traveling
on
airplanes.
“I
like
everything
about
traveling,
but
if
you
can
get
a
business
class
seat
instead
of
an
economy
class
seat,
there
is
nothing
like
it.
In
economy,
you
are
confined
to
sitting
in
one
tight
spot.
However,
in
business
class,
you
can
relax
and
sit.
That’s
why
I
like
getting
business
class
so
I
can
be
comfortable
while
watching
Netflix.”

Saini
also
revealed
that
he
wasn’t
watching
anything
on
the
plane
but
decided
to
jog
old
memories
by
watching
episodes
of
Tom
and
Jerry.

Young
India
opener
Devdutt
Padikkal
shared
what
playing
for
Team
India
in
the
series
against
Sri
Lanka
was
like.
“It
was
a
very
exciting
experience
for
me.
Just
being
a
part
of
the
group.
I
was
really
excited
to
be
there
and
was
just
looking
to
learn
and
improve.
For
lots
of
us,
it
was
our
first
tour
with
the
Indian
team,
and
everyone
just
wanted
to
pick
new
techniques
up
from
each
other
and
the
senior
players
in
the
squad.
It
was
a
really
good
experience
overall.”

The
team
will
be
quarantined
in
their
hotel
for
06
days
before
training
begins.
The
team’s
season
re-opener
is
on
20
September
against
the
Kolkata
Knight
Riders.
