Virat Kohli Nods Yes to Play Day-Night Test in Australia on One Condition!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsWith India gearing up to witness its first-ever day-night Test, skipper Virat Kohli has nodded yes to the idea of playing a pink-ball match in Australia on one condition that there should be a practice match ahead of the fixture. "Whenever it is held, there should be a practice game before," Virat was quoted as saying by NDTV.
India had kept away from playing day-night Tests since the first pink-ball game between Australia and New Zealand in 2015. "Obviously, we wanted to get a feel of pink ball cricket. Eventually, it had to happen. But you can't just bring those things up before a big tour and suddenly in the schedule, there is a pink ball Test, when we have not even practiced with pink ball. We have not played any first-class game with the pink ball," the skipper on while speaking elaborately about why he had apprehensions earlier.
However, he then said that with proper preparations, he has no problem with a pink-ball game. "You can't just go in two days before and say you're playing a pink ball Test in a week's time. We didn't really think it was logical from that point of view. It needed a bit of preparation. Once you get used to playing it there's no problem playing at all. You can plan in advance. We just thought it was a spontaneous."
