Late swing, challenges in twilight, spinners sidelined: Assessment of Pink Ball after India's maiden D/N Test

India TV News  

Even before the series against Bangladesh had begun, the pink ball had taken the centre stage. There were more questions than answers, even from players who managed to get a practice session with the pink ball at the NCA before the Indore game. Two days and 47 minutes later, and despite a very lopsided contest, we have a fair degree of assessment of the brand-new SG pink ball. "I spoke to Sachin on the evening of the first day and he made a very interesting point that with the pink ball, you'll have to treat the second session like your morning session when it is getting darker and the ball starts to swing and seam. Luckily I went in when the lights were on so I didn't have to go through the transition but I think that'll be another challenge in the future as well," Kohli said.The spinners failed to gain any assessment of the pink ball.
