BGT: It's Harder To Gauge Pink Ball's Seam Position At Night, Says Gill
Shubman Gill: India batter Shubman Gill reflected on the team's 10-wicket loss in the day-night Test in Adelaide, explaining that the team is more accustomed to playing with a red ball. He noted that the pink ball is slightly different, making it more challenging to judge the seam position while playing under the lights.
After registering a 295-run win, their biggest Test win on runs over Australia, in the series opener in Perth, India slumped to a 10-wicket loss in the second Test at Adelaide Oval, which levelled the five-match series 1-1.
"I think the pink ball is slightly different from the red ball. It's a little bit harder to be able to gauge the seam and the hand of a bowler, especially when you're playing at night. And we are a bit more used to playing with the red ball in the day. Just the dynamics of a pink ball Test, we don't play as much.
