Team India reached the South African shores ahead of the Test series after flying from Mumbai to Johannesburg on Thursday. 

Despite ongoing rumors about the Indian dressing room not being in the best frame of mind with the issues going on outside, BCCI shared a wholesome video of the team's fun-filled flight experience. 

One of the parts of the video was about how captain Virat Kohli was joking with sleepy Ishant Sharma, who was trying to find something in his bag. Kohli was in awe of Ishant's bag which had every important thing. 

"See, this is called a bag. This guy(Ishant) can run anywhere at this time, he has everything in his bag. I have never seen such type of bag. Whoever runs with this bag can holiday in any part of the world," joked Kohli. 

From Mumbai to Jo'Burg!

Seeing Kohli in a light-hearted mood and joking with his teammates is a good sign of how relaxed the atmosphere is in the dressing room ahead of an important test tour where India are yet to win a series. 

The first test will begin on Boxing Day - 26th December followed by the 2nd test on 3rd January and the 3rd test on 11th January.
