In the same Test in Dubai, West Indies' Darren Bravo became the second player to reach the triple figure mark. Later, there were regular centurions in the pink ball contests with the current big four also scoring hundreds in the day-night Tests.

Former Australia opener David Warner also scored a triple hundred in the day-night Test against Pakistan a few year ago in Adelaide, which is the most common venue for the pink ball contests since it’s inception.
