India's T20I squad has landed in South Africa for a series of four matches, and the team led by Suryakumar Yadav kicked off the tour by testing each other's general knowledge about the rainbow nation.
A young squad under interim coach VVS Laxman was seen having some fun on a video shared by the BCCI, where opening batsman Abhishek Sharma and allrounder Axar Patel are seen asking their teammates questions to test how much they know about the country they are touring.
India will begin their tour with the first T20I on November 8 in Durban, while the Test squad and regular coach Gautam Gambhir prepare for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which begins in Australia later this month.
WATCH TEAM INDIA IN FUN MODEThe fun-filled quiz ended with a light-hearted question: "Does Axar Patel have the loudest laugh in the squad?"
The Durban T20I will be followed by matches in Gqeberha, Centurion and Johannesburg.
India's T20I Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, Yash Dayal
