After India registered a thumping 304-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test, the Indian team members celebrated the win by playing FIFA on their Playstations. Yes, that’s right. They played video games and it was Rohit Sharma, who tweeted about the same. The Indian batsman posted a picture of him and the Indian teammates playing video games and captioned it ‘Victory tastes as good when we play FIFA’.

The picture shows Rohit taking a selfie while Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Wriddhiman Saha and Abhinav Mukund are seen in the background. They all seem to be animated with Dhawan suggesting that he is winning the contest.

Even though Rohit Sharma didn’t play in the first Test, he actively participated in the team’s celebrations and congratulated them on winning the match. On Saturday, he posted on Twitter the below message after Team India’s win.

Not only Rohit Sharma, but the Indian captain Virat Kohli and all-rounder Hardik Pandya also posted a couple of pictures on their Twitter accounts post victory. In the pics, they were seen chilling in the resort alongside KL Rahul, who missed the opening Test due to viral flu.

It was a special win for the Indian team as they recorded their biggest ever win (in terms of runs) on foreign soil. The second Test will start from August 3 at S.S.C, Colombo where India will like to seal the series. After the Test series, the teams will play a five-match ODI series and a one-off T20.
