Cricket News Desk. The second match of the series between India and Australia is to be played in Adelaide. The match between the two teams will be played with pink ball in Adelaide. To perform well in the second test, Team India's batsmen are also practicing vigorously with the pink ball. Batsmen have to face more difficulties in facing the pink ball than the red ball. After all, how different is the pink ball from the red ball? Why do batsmen face more challenges with the pink ball? Indian team's star batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has answered all these questions.
How different is the pink ball from the red ball?
Pujara said that the biggest problem in facing the pink ball is in the evening. He said that at that time the daylight becomes very less and even the flood lights do not light, due to which the batsmen face a lot of trouble. According to Pujara, the pink ball shines more than the red ball. Along with this, the shine of the pink ball also remains for a long time. According to Indian batsmen, the pink ball has many layers of lacquer, due to which the ball does not age quickly. Due to the longer duration of brightness, the pink ball causes more trouble for the batsmen than the red ball.
Why do batsmen face more problems?
Pujara said that the shine of the pink ball lasts for a long time. For this reason, when the pink ball surfaces, it approaches the batsman faster than the red ball. The batsman has much less time to react when playing the pink ball compared to the red ball. This is the reason why batsmen face more difficulty in facing the pink ball. Pujara said that while facing the pink ball, the batsmen have to keep in mind that it comes towards you faster than the red ball.
What is the record of India and Australia?
Australia's record with the pink ball has been excellent. The team has played a total of 12 test matches with this ball so far, out of which the team has won 11, while the team has faced defeat in only one match. At the same time, the Indian team has played four test matches with pink ball and has tasted victory in three. India's only defeat was at the hands of Australia. The Kangaroo team defeated the Indian team on the grounds of Adelaide.
