5 takeaways from Pink ball cricket in India

#3 Visibility issues

Players have faced problem sighting the ball

This is an extrapolation from the previous point, and once again we will have to quote Pujara, who was a centurion in the Duleep Trophy match. Pujara who scored a gritty 166 was not very amused with the seam colour and also the colour of the ball, especially under lights.

"When I was facing spinners, it was very difficult to pick the googly, under lights. A little difficult to pick the seam on the pink ball," Pujara observed.

Visibility issues with the pink ball have always been a pressing concern. Australian batsman, David Warner also expressed his reservations about the visibility of the ball.

“The guys on the side boundaries have trouble picking it up. With the ball they used last year, there was no chance of seeing the seam. If you are a batsman, it is critical to be able to see the seam as it gets closer to you, so you can work out which way it is going to swing — if it does", Warner said.

The administrators will have to be very observant of this particular point if they are planning to go ahead with Tests under lights.
