The practice exercise was being monitored by Delhi coach Sarandeep Singh.
All star players, including Odi and Test Captain Rohit Sharma, have presented themselves for their Ranji teams after the disastrous Australian test tour recently.
This was due to a BCCI Diktat that players should prioritize national cryket every time their international schedule allows them.
While Rohit (Mumbai) and Rishabh Pant (Delhi) did not have much success for their respective teams, the all -terrain veteran Ravindra Jadeje starred in a 12 wicket tour for Saurashtra and Shubman Gill published a hundred for Punjab, although in a lost cause.
Pant, Rohit, Yashavi Jaiswal (Mumbai) will not play the next Ranji games while preparing for the Odi series against England from February 6 in Nagpur. KL Rahul, however, will appear in Karnataka.
