Rahane, Pujara and Ashwin enjoy day out with kids in Sydney

Off-spinner Ashwin took to Instagram to share a post where the three players are seen strolling in a park along with their kids.

"Father's day out, with the babies," Ashwin captioned his post on Monday. Rahane also posted the same photo with a different caption while Pujara posted a different photo.

The trio is not part of the India's limited-overs squads for three ODIs and as many T20Is against Australia.

The 2018/19 series was the first time any Asian side managed to beat Australia in a Test series Down Under. Pujara was India's best batsman, finishing as the highest scorer in the series with 521 runs at an average of 74.42. Rahane had scored 217 runs while Ashwin had picked six wickets in the lone Test he played on that tour.

Team India will begin the defence of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the pink-ball Test scheduled to be played at the Adelaide Oval from December 17-21. It will be followed by Tests at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (December 26-30), the Sydney Cricket Ground (January 7-11), and the Gabba, Brisbane (January 15-19).
