IND vs ENG, Pink Ball Gives Edge To Bowlers On Bowler-Friendly Pitches: Ravichandran Ashwin

By IANS News February 27, 2021 • 22:14 PM View: 2253

India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Saturday said that 'pink-ball' Test cricket was still evolving and teams were still getting to grips with the ball that was tough to handle for a spinner due to the extra gloss on it. He also said that batting can get tough against the pink ball if it gives a little help to bowlers.

The 34-year-old player, who became only the fourth Indian bowler to get to 400 Test wickets during the third Test here, said that the ball wasn't rotating at the seam as much as the red ball would.
