On Thursday, Indian Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara admitted that playing with the pink ball is a big challenge. Pujara believes that playing with a pink ball in a day-night test match is a different challenge for batsmen, as the pink ball is much faster than the traditional red ball and the ball has less visibility too.
Cheteshwar Pujara said, "First of all, speaking about the day and night tests or playing with a pink ball, I think it is different from what we do with the red ball." He further said, "Although it is still the same format, the speed and visibility of the (pink) ball is very different. As a batsman, you have to get used to it."
Cheteshwar Pujara has also said that it will be very difficult for young cricketers to play with the pink ball, who are used to play with red ball. Pujara has said, "It will not be easy, because you will need a special kind of practice. It is not easy to do it at home level. If a young player is coming, then he is used to playing with SG red ball in Ranji Trophy, he is ready for this format, but the pink ball needs enough training. "
Cheteshwar Pujara has said, "He is ready for the Test match, but when he comes to play with the pink ball, he will have not that much experience and there will not be many net seasons as well, so I think it will be a challenge to play with a pink ball. Yes, but players who have already played with a pink ball in some domestic tournaments and who have played pink ball test, they will get used to it, but It's a completely different challenge for a batsman.
