India's current Test squad and their experience of playing with pink ball

1. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja

The men from Saurashtra – Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja were also part of the India Blue team during the 2016/17 Duleep Trophy. Pujara joined the India Blue team from their 2nd game of the tournament while Jadeja only played the final against India Red. The all-rounder was also part of the Caribbean tour along with Rohit.

This tournament saw the beginning of a record-breaking first-class season in India for both Pujara and Jadeja. India’s Test No.3 scored 166 in his first appearance and followed it with an unbeaten double century in the final. His 256* in the final is also the first-ever pink ball double ton in Indian FC cricket. He finished with 453 runs from three innings to finish ahead of Mayank as the leading run-getter.

Jadeja, on the other hand, recorded scores of 48 and 17 with the bat before his brilliant performances with the ball. He took ten wickets in the game with 5-wicket hauls in both innings. If Pujara became the first Indian to score a double ton in a pink ball first-class game, Ravindra Jadeja became the first with a 10-wicket match haul in the same match.
