Aus vs Ind: Pink Ball Test Completely Different From A Normal Test Match, Says Kohli
India skipper Virat Kohli has said that the pink-ball Test, which will be the opening match of the four-game series against Australia beginning Thursday, is exactly the opposite of a normal Test match and is difficult to be pre-planned as it has many variables. Kohli on Wednesday added that they will have to react to situations as the game unfolds at the Adelaide Oval.
"I think you can get a fair idea about how you want to go about things. I don't think you can concretely plan anything in Test cricket. Test cricket is always about encountering situations and reacting to the situations to the best of your abilities -- understanding when to attack, to defend, when to bat through...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," said Kohli, who led India to a 2-1 Test series win last year.
