Typhoon disrupts India training before Japan T20I; Iyer admits conditions unknown

Typhoon Dujuan has disrupted India's training schedule ahead of their historic T20 International against Japan, with heavy rain and stormy conditions making it difficult for the team to prepare for the landmark fixture.
