Pink ball visibility easier than red ball: Sourav Ganguly

By Saurabh Sharma November 24, 2019 • 00:51 AM View: 1068

Kolkata, Nov 24: Former India captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly feels sighting the pink ball is easier than its traditional red avatar. Visibility of the heavily-lacquered ball especially during the twilight period has been a talking point ahead of the country's first Day-Night Test.

Kohli, who slammed his 27th Test ton on Day 2 and was dismissed for 136, batted throughout the "twilight zone" on the first day without facing any difficulty although against a weak Bangladesh bowling attack.
