Instead of Cricket, India and New Zealand Cricket Teams Played Foot Volley. Here is Why

The first T20 International between New Zealand and India at Wellington could not be played due to rains

After continuous downpours spoiled the first T20 International between New Zealand and India at Wellington on Friday, players of both the teams did not waste time nor did they sit idle. They played a fun game of “footvolley” – football-volleyball.

A video posted by BCCI’s official Twitter account showed India and New Zealand players enjoying the game. In the clip, players including Yuzi Chahal, Sanju Samson and Ish Sodhi, were seen competing in a fun match of “footvolley”.

“#TeamIndia and New Zealand team enjoy a game of footvolley as we wait for the rain to let up,” read the caption of the post.
