Watch: The Grand Entry of Captain Rohit Sharma in a Helicopter for the Dharamasala Test Goes Viral
For the Dharamshala Test against England starting Thursday, Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma arrived in style as he landed at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in a helicopter. The rest of the team had already arrived on Sunday, but Rohit joined them on Tuesday, and he also attended an event with Sports Minister Anurag Thakur in Bilaspur and played cricket with his fans. The fifth Test match between India and England cricket teams is a dead rubber, as the Rohit-led men in blue have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead over the visitors thanks to a brilliant victory in the fourth Test in Ranchi.

Meanwhile, Test cricket will see two players feature in their 100th game together for only the fourth time when India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and England batter Jonny Bairstow take the field.
In this hill town, the 34-year-old Bairstow will become the 17th Englishman to get a 100th Test cap, having made his debut in 2012.
