Three of the players went out to the Eden Gardens ground for an hour-long optional practice session, while their team-mates kept themselves confined to the hotel rooms.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSuresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane and Pawan Negi sweated it out at the Eden, where India would take on Pakistan in a high-octane Group 2 clash on Saturday. The Shahid Afridi-led Pakistan side are upbeat after a clinical 55-run win over Bangladesh on Wednesday. Raina and Rahane had a brief discussion with batting coach Sanjay Bangar and then struck some big blows in the nets.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe hosts were shocked by the Kiwis at Nagpur on Tuesday. On a wicket that had spin and bounce, India were bowled out for 79 chasing a target of 127 runs. &quot;The team is obviously very upset after the loss against New Zealand. No team is happy after such a loss,&quot; sources close to the team told IANS.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Excepting Raina, Rahane and Negi, the others took the day off and had some rest so that they can be ready for the battle against Pakistan,&quot; the source said. &quot;Tomorrow, apart from the training, they have no other plans. They are scheduled to head back to the team hotel after training,&quot; the source added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Agency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
