| Pak players unwind ahead of crucial third test | | | Bangalore | Dec 6
After fighting back in the Kolkata test, Pakistani players spent some time unwinding themselves ahead of the crucial final encounter of the three-match series starting here on Saturday.
Skipper Shoib Malik drove to upmarket Koramangala area here and watched hit movie `Jab We Met', featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, in a multiplex last night.
On the way, he dropped in at a restaurent that specialises in Pakistani and Afghani cuisine, on the Infantry Road.
Some of his team-mates, including Kamran Akmal and Salman Butt, went for Jonh Abraham-starrer, `Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal' at the same PVR Cinemas. Some others chose to closet themselves in the plush team hotel.
"Pakistan players took a day's off yesterday", a team official said.
In fact, as they arrived yesterday from Kolkata, where the test was drawn, they were greeted by overcast skies, as the city experienced the chill of the winter with temperature dipping to 19 degree celsius in the afternoon.
Security was tight at the team hotel. In and around the Chinnaswamy Stadium, city police plan to deploy a posse of 2,250 personnel, and set up a disaster management cell to meet any evantuality, official sources said. |
