There are various ways to overcome jetlag. Some avoid coffee, others like to arrive at their destination during daylight hours while others even go to the extent of breaking their sleep patterns to consume large meals.

The current members of the Indian team, however, had one simple method - a gym session. After arriving here on Saturday morning, the majority of players found themselves in the hotel gym to remain active and shrug off any bouts of jetlag. If that didn't work, then the hard, fast and bouncy pitches at the Gabba practice nets would have tested their jaded bodies and reflexes yesterday.
