A report by The Sydney Morning Herald said India\u2019s players felt uncomfortable preparing amid a carnival-like atmosphere at the nets in Adelaide Oval on Tuesday, and were constantly bombarded for selfie requests while batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It added that with fans standing in close proximity of the nets, there was constant commentary of their actions from the fans, while some of them mocked or laughed at players after missing the ball or getting out in practice, apart from requests for hitting boundaries all the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"India have expressed a preference for their remaining training sessions not to be open to the public to minimise potential noise or distractions,\" a Cricket Australia (CA) spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report. It also said Australia will continue to hold their practice sessions in an open environment, with reporters free to attend both teams\u2019 nets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Opener KL Rahul had said opening India\u2019s practice session in Adelaide yesterday was a very different experience for the team. \u201cVery different. Not used to it. We have practice with crowds but it\u2019s mostly T20 and ODIs back home, we\u2019ve had crowds come in and watch our practice sessions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"So it felt a little different but also it adds to your preparation for the Test match and gives us a bit of what we can expect on day one or all the days here in Adelaide, so it was good,\" he said to reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
