India could've avoided Adelaide batting collapse if series ended with pink-ball Test: Sachin Tendulkar

India TV News  

The Indian players' transition from red ball to pink would have been smoother had the Test series against Australia started with red ball matches, says Sachin Tendulkar. If that had happened, India could have avoided the eight-wicket thrashing they suffered in the pink ball day-night first Test in Adelaide. The former India captain feels had the day-night Test been played at the end of the four-match series, the Indians' transition from red ball to pink ball would have been smoother. One occasion he expressed his reservations was after India beat Bangladesh in the first pink ball day-night Test at home, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, in November last year. The BCCI thinking immediately changed and when India's tour was rescheduled, and the first Test was pencilled in as a pink ball day-night affair in Adelaide.
