It is very simple, a pink ball will be used instead of the red cherry and people will come and watch in the evening,&quot; Ganguly said on the sidelines of a promotional event here.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe former left-handed batsman also heaped praise on Rohit Sharma for scoring his third ODI double century, but felt &quot;sorry&quot; for the Sri Lankans.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I feel sorry for the Sri Lankans. Earlier it was (Virender) Sehwag, (Sachin) Tendulkar and now it&#39;s (Virat) Kohli and Rohit Sharma,&quot; Ganguly said.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It was a remarkable innings. He took just 36 balls to convert his century into a double. I was watching the Sri Lankan bowlers and I said Jesus! He just kept sweeping them into the stands,&quot; he said.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Time has changed with T20 format. He is a serious player. His one-day record this year is probably the best in the world along side David Warner and Virat Kohli. I expect him to play the same way.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
