The Wankhede Stadium track being prepared for the ICC World T20 semi final clash between India and the West Indies is unlikely to favour the batsmen to the same extent as it did in the earlier matches, it has been learnt.

India's team director Ravi Shastri on Wednesday called on the side's under-performing batsmen to raise their game in the ICC World Twenty20 semifinal against West Indies in Mumbai, saying the hosts can't rely on one or two individuals at this stage of the tournament.

Here are the images of Team India's practise session ahead of the match:
