The Indian team went through their paces in their first nets session ahead of the new season at the M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
The closed door training session saw all the Indian players involved in a gruelling training session ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh, starting next week.
Virat Kohli, back in the Test team after a long gap, batted for about 45 minutes, while pacer Jasprit Bumrah also bowled at full tilt as he got back to action after a lengthy break.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir, new bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar oversaw the nets as they put the players through the grind.
