How Pink ball Test different from red one

Skipper Virat Kohli on Wednesday told reporters that the day-night Test match is completely opposite to the normal day game played with red ball as the pink ball does little in the first session and starts to move in the final one.

 

"The pink ball Test brings a lot more variables like the twilight period, a tricky period to bat in, then bowling in the first session (is tough) and then at night you have more on offer for the bowlers. Actually it is the other way around when you compare it with the normal Test match something we have to analyse and monitor as we go into the Test match," said Kohli while admitting his team's inexperience

Why IND vs AUS series being a friendly one?

Here's what Kohli said....

In one of the scenes of docuseries, The Test, which documents Australia's emergence out of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal and shows the non-aggressive, soft side of the team, Tim Paine is shown telling his teammates to completely ignore Virat Kohli during India's 2018-19 tour of Australia. The Australia captain asks them to not engage him. Paine, however, himself falls for it and indulges in chatter in the second Test Perth after being tempted into it by the India skipper.

 

 

Two years later, Paine says he is not one for run-ins but he won't hold back if tempted in the Test series that starts with a day-nighter in Adelaide on Thursday.

 

"Certainly, we don't go in planning to have run-ins or be overly aggressive or anything like that. We just go out there to execute our plans firstly with bat and ball, and at times things at the field can be... if that is the case, no doubt that this team won't be taking a backward step," said Paine on Wednesday, the eve of the first Test, a day-night fixture.

 

Despite that, both Paine and coach Justin Langer have emphasised that there will be only banter and no abuse.

Saha or Pant; Chappell has the answer

Ian Chappell, during a media interaction on Tuesday night said that if India are to pick six batsmen, then they should go in with Saha who is a proper wicketkeeper.

 

"If they play five batsman, then they should play Pant because he is a better batsman and has played in Australia and scored too," added Chappell.

 

Saha's last Test fifty came over three years back in 2017 but his wicketkeeping skills seem to have prompted the team management to play him in the eleven.

Why Pant not selected for 1st Test

Though Pant has been the preferred choice for overseas tours since he made his Test debut, especially in countries where the ball doesn't turn much, Saha had played both the warm-ups prior to this Test as a specialist keeper. In the second warm-up game, which was a day-night affair, Pant played purely as a batsman. Saha also has prior experience of keeping wickets in a pink-ball Test match, having played in India's only day-night Test match at Eden Gardens against Bangladesh.
