 Indian vice-captain Ajinka Rahane said that there will be lateral movement with the pink ball as they prepare them for their maiden Test under flood light in the ongoing two-match Test series against India.

India and Bangladesh will play the second Test of the ongoing series with pink ball and both the sides are yet to play with the ball earlier.   

"I didn't play pink ball [before] so this is my first experience. The lateral movement is big, actually a lot more than the red ball. I'm sure we'll get two good practice sessions in Kolkata. Adjustment wise I'm sure everyone will adjust very quickly. It's just the mindset, technical skills will play a role. Mentally if you can adjust to the pink ball, then it'll be good."

"Generally when dew comes into play, it becomes easy for the batsman. But I don't know about the pink SG ball how it goes on to play when dew comes in. We'll have to wait and see. I'm sure we'll get one evening practice session in Kolkata. We'll get an idea of when the dew comes in how the ball will behave," Rahane said.

"We had to practice with the pink ball because we were not playing T20s or any other format. What we decided was to go and spend time at the NCA and if we can get pink ball session, it'll be great. For bowlers it's a different thing. Shami was there, Jadeja was there. We decided that we'll have at least two sessions with the pink ball. But as I said, it's not difficult to stay in the present. [Our] focus is on the Indore Test match first," Rahane said.
