With Chennai, the venue for the fifth Test between India and England, still feeling the after-effects of Cyclone Vardah, players from both teams were forced to abandon practice and stay indoors on Wednesday.
With mobile networks and Wi-Fi also unavailable, the Indian cricketers turned their focus to popular video game FIFA 17 on PlayStation 4.
As you can see from the image above, it was captain Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara and Karun Nair who looked to be engrossed in the game while off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin watched on.
With India having already wrapped up the series with a 3-0 lead, the two sides will face off in the fifth Test on Friday.
There is a great deal of effort going in to making sure that the MA Chidambaram Stadium will be fit for purpose on the first day but in the meantime, FIFA is a handy distraction.
