India vs Bangladesh: Pink ball swings a lot more, says Virat Kohli on first ever day-night Test

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, on Wednesday addressed a press conference ahead of the first ever day-night Test which will commence on November 22. On Pink ball, Virat Kohli said, "I think it's a new way to bring excitement in Test cricket. The pink ball I played with yesterday, felt like it swings a lot more compared to the red ball. You require extra concentration to pick the pink ball suddenly when you are playing with red ball." Meanwhile, Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane said "We had 3-4 practice sessions out of which 2 were with pink ball, one during the day and one in the lights. It was exciting for me, it was my first time." https://www.ptcnews.tv/ms-dhoni-to-make-debut-as-a-commentator-in-india-vs-bangladesh-day-night-test/ Adding, he said: "Our focus during the practice session was to see the sweep and swing and play closer to our bodies. So yes, we had productive practice sessions. But right now, the focus is on the upcoming test match (first test match between India and Bangladesh) which is with red ball." India has defeated Bangladesh in the three-match T20 series 2-1. Now, the hosts will don the white jersey and take on the Bangla Tigers in two-match Test series. The first Test is scheduled to be played at Indore from November 14. -PTC News
