India vs England: Spin will come into play for sure, but fast bowlers can't be ignored in pink ball Test, says Virat Kohli

Firstpost  

Both spinners and pacers will come into the picture in the day-night Test at Ahmedabad, feels India skipper Virat Kohli, who is well aware of the challenges before his team as they step into a relatively unfamiliar territory, with pink balls, cricket under floodlights, and a new stadium. “It’s much more challenging to play with the pink ball regardless of which pitch you’re playing on. “Spin will come into play for sure, but the fast bowlers cannot be ignored, the pink ball does bring them into the game till the ball is nice and shiny.” Asked about the difference in the way they would approach the pink ball Test, Kohli stated that batsmen would need to tread carefully in the evening session under lights, a time that will be particularly intriguing for the pacers. We’re going to focus on what we can do as individuals in the present moment rather than focussing on scenarios.” Kohli also heaped praise on Ishant, his Delhi teammate, who is standing on the cusp of playing his 100th Test.
