Pink Ball Vs Red Ball in Test Cricket: How pink ball is different?

India Today  

India and Australia are locking horns in the second Test of the ongoing five-match Test series between the two teams at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Notably, a day/night Test is played with a pink ball rather than the usual red ball used in Test cricket which adds to the excitement of the game. Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee also recently explained how does a pink ball behave differently than a red ball calling it a Rosé. The pink ball test is under light, so generally when you're playing the lights it’s a bit more movement, it's cooler by night time as well in terms of heat. Among Indian batters, Virat Kohli is the leading run scorer in the pink ball Tests having 277 runs from five matches at an average of 46.16 with one hundred and one fifty to his name.
