The Indian Cricket team reached six hours prior to the stipulated time to resume the final practice session for the high voltage match against Pakistan on February 23 in Dubai. According to a report from Dainik Jagaran, the practice session on Saturday, February 22, was supposed to start at 4 pm. However, the team arrived six hours earlier, that is, at 11 am. However, Virat Kohli was half an hour late into the practice session, accompanied by his assistants. The Indian media was baffled by the sudden change of schedule, and when they reached the venue, the session was almost half done. Asking the ICC representatives was all in vain, as none knew India's sudden mood change. However, the report from the daily further informed that the Indian team later said, the sudden change of practice session is because of getting an early dinner. A source has revealed that a 4 pm net session would have delayed the dinner time, especially before the crucial match. However, if it was genuinely a dinner issue or secretive practice session before facing the arc rival, is yet a mystery!
