But the problem he and his teammates are facing is that the Indian team will be travelling to Port of Spain from St Lucia on the same day . The Indian team is right now in St Lucia to play the third test against West Indies. The players has been keeping a tab on whatever has been happening at Rio Olympics. Kohli said that the team followed the Games in the evening whenever they had time. Talking about his own favourite disciplines, Virat said, "I like swimming and diving. Then, track and field is everyone's most favourite event." Virat informed that everyone in the team will be glued on to Usain Bolt's events. "We're thinking that since we're travelling on 14th (August), we'll miss Bolt's event as he is running that day. But some of my teammates have already have the timings sorted out on what time we would reach the hotel and what time is Bolt's event. They have told us we won't miss it." The only option for Kohli and his men to avoid missing Bolt’s event is to wrap up the test match within four days, so that they can travel a day earlier by chartered flight. Virat further added, "We're not Olympic athletes but as athletes, we have interest in these events. There is nothing bigger than Olympics so it's a different kind of excitement that it creates."   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ8wr5MsJe0
