Team India’s ‘pink test’ from today in Eden, these 4 challenges for bowler-batsman-fielder

The historic day-night Test match will be played between India and Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This match will start at 1 pm on Friday afternoon.

The historic day-night Test match will be played between India and Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This match will start at 1 pm on Friday afternoon. A day-night match in Eden will be played with SG ball and it will be interesting to see how it behaves. This ‘Twilight Zone’ is going to be quite challenging for Indian batsmen, especially captain Kohli, as he is not yet experienced to play with a pink ball.

In the evening of the day-night Test, the flat light turns on. At that time there was a lot of discussion about the problem faced by the batsmen. There has been a lot of discussion about reconciling this ‘Twilight Zone’. Some players from India spoke about the problem of seeing the pink ball in this twilight. These players have played the Duleep Trophy in the day and night format.

Apart from this, no player from Bangladesh has any experience of playing with the pink ball. In such a situation, this match is going to be very challenging for them too.

What problems will come ..?

1. The batsmen may have trouble keeping a full eye on the roaming pink ball during the dusk in the Eden Gardens. It is as easy to see the red ball in the daylight, it is not with the pink ball.

2. After dusk in Kolkata, there is a lot of dew, due to which the ball becomes wet and heavy. It would not be easy for the spinners to get the turn because the ball could not grip.

3. Virat Kohli has said that fielding with this ball is very difficult. The pink ball is compared to the hockey ball. He has said that the pink ball is fast in the hands of the fielder. It is exactly like a heavy hockey ball.

4. It will be difficult to catch high catches. In red and white balls, it is known that at what speed the ball is coming down, while it will not be easy to guess with the pink ball.
