Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was also seen bowling with the pink ball for a short time as reported by sportstar. Allrounder Washington Sundar was also part of the practice nets along with wicket-keeper Wridhiman Saha. 

The third and fourth test match will be played in the newly constructed Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera. With a seating capacity of over 1,00,000, the stadium is the biggest in India. BCCI has confirmed that the stadium will be filled with a 50% crowd. 

"Ahmedabad is totally sold out for the day-night Test match because it's the first game there after a long period," BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said.
