Team India watches Dhurandhar in Lucknow before T20 match with South Africa

The Indian cricket team, currently in Lucknow for their series against South Africa, spent Monday evening watching a movie. After arriving in the city, the players took in Aditya Dhar’s film, Dhurandhar, at a local multiplex ahead of the fourth T20I, which will be played on December 17 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Stadium.

Having established a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, the players chose to relax by viewing the blockbuster Dhurandhar, which stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, as reported by HT City. For the 8:10 PM screening at the Phoenix Palassio multiplex, the entire auditorium was reserved exclusively for the team.

The movie outing saw several



prominent figures in attendance, all sporting relaxed, casual clothing. The group included Coach Gautam Gambhir, Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Vice-Captain Shubman Gill, and players like Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, and Tilak Varma. Even India's bowling coach, South African Morne Morkel, joined the cricketers for the film.

“We had booked the entire Audi No 10 for them as it’s about our star players, and we have so many protocols to abide by for their safety and comfort. So, it was just the players and the support staff who watched this particular show. It was a delight to host the champion team in Lucknow. The total strength of the contingent was 40 members,” said Sajeev Sarin, the regional director for the company. The players exited at 12.10 am.
