Meanwhile, Chahal shared a story on his Instagram handle on the same day, where he was seen enjoying his time out with fellow cricketer Umran Malik. Chahal shared a picture of Umran, where both players were seen having dinner at a restaurant.

Both Chahal and Umran have been named in India's squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. They are currently training for the series at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. The first ODI is scheduled to be played on March 17 in Mumbai, followed by two more games on March 19 and 22 in Vizag and Mumbai, respectively.

The three ODIs against Australia will work as preparation for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup, which is slated to be held in India in October-November. Chahal and Umran are likely to be part of the World Cup squad as they have been a regular member of the Indian white-ball team for the past several months.
