Indian cricket team is undoubtedly one of the most complete cricketing units in the world in current times. The Men in Blue are winning matches and tournaments and hover around the top three positions in the ICC rankings for best team (in both ODI and Test). This is the result of the endless training sessions and net sessions that the Indian cricketers take on a daily basis. But as they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy; th e Indian cricketers also know how to maintain a balance between tough training and unwinding.
Be it vacations with family or sneaking out of a foreign tour, the stalwarts of the current Indian team are never shy of exploring new lands.
1. Virat Kohli, the captain, leads the pack

5. Yuvraj Singh is known for many things―fiery batsman, dynamic fielder, maverick bowler and the Punjab lad also knows how to unwind
6. MS Dhoni is a cool customer and knows how to take a chill pill without any fuss
7. The quirky Ravindra Jadeja is a valuable player on field and it is imperative that this guy keeps his cool all the time. So he travels!
