Watch: Shivam Dube and Jason Holder play a game of TT on off-day

Ahead of the third and final ODI between India and West Indies, scheduled to be held at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday, the two teams got some days off and decided to unwind. While Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Yuzvendra Chahal were seen enjoying their off-day at the beach, Shivam Dube took on Jason Holder in a Table Tennis game, with Iyer watching the proceedings.

The video of the two all-rounders playing a competitive game was shared by the official Instagram handle of Windies cricket.

The two teams will fight it out for the trophy in Cuttack, after Windies clinched the game at Chennai, and India made a strong comeback to level the series 1-1 at Vizag in the second ODI. Rohit Sharma was the star in the game as he smashed 159 runs in just 138 balls with the help of 17 fours and five huge sixes. He, along with KL Rahul, who got a ton, helped India amass 387 for 5 in their 50 overs, which proved a steep chase for the visitors.

In the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav created history as he became the first ever Indian to claim two hattricks in the format. He had picked up a hattrick against Australia in an ODI in 2017 at Eden Gardens earlier. This is the second time this year that an Indian took a hattrick in ODI cricket, with Mohammad Shami scalping three in three in the World Cup against Afghanistan.

Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar are the other Indians who took a hattrick this year – the former in Tests against Windies in September, with the latter picking up a hatrrick in a T20I game against Bangladesh.
