‘Work hard, play hard’ seems to be the motto of Team India throughout the ICC Champions Trophy.

Playing under such high pressure can wear even the best players down, but Team India has been keeping its spirits up by making time for their families on the road.

From former captain MS Dhoni to Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, they have all spent time with their wives and children, keeping their minds at ease before the crunch clash against Bangladesh.

Before India’s final group game against South Africa, Sakshi had posted a picture with Dhoni and Ziva, with the caption ‘family time’.
