Pink-ball Test: Both pacers & spinners will be in action at Motera, feels Kohli

Pink-ball Test: Both pacers & spinners will be in action at Motera, feels Kohli

Ahmedabad, Feb 23 (UNI) India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday said that both spinners and fast bowlers will be in play in the day-night third Test at the revamped Motera Cricket Stadium here, even though the conditions underfoot are expected to assist spin bowling.
Addressing the pre-match press conference, Kohli said he expects the pacers to be in the game till the ball is 'nice and shiny'.
"The pink ball does tend to swing a lot more than the normal red ball that we play with. We experienced that in the one match that we played in 2019 against Bangladesh. It is much more challenging to play the new pink ball regardless of the pitch you are playing on,' Kohli said, on the eve of the Ahmedabad Test.
