Ahmedabad, Feb 22 (IANS): With Ahmedabad s Motera stadium set to host India s second day-night Test, against England, here from Wednesday, all eyes will be on Sanspareils Greenlands (SG) pink ball that will be used in Test cricket for only the second time. This will also be India s third Test match with the pink ball, having played one in India with SG ball and another in Australia in December last year with the Kookaburra ball.
The previous and the only Test played in India with pink ball was played in November, 2019, between India and Bangladesh with the match lasting just over two days which was too small a sample size to determine the behaviour of SG ball.
