Coaches Vijay Dahiya and Wasim Akram were joined by KKR players in sampling the theme park's variety of attractions.

The team, boasting renowned international cricket players such as Gautam Gambhir, Yusuf Pathan, Jacques Kallis and Andre Russell, is in the UAE ahead of the first leg of this year's IPL which is being held in the country.

KKR will battle it out with the Mumbai Indiansin the opening game of IPL 7 on 16 April at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
