Kohli and team disagree with Ravi Shastri

It might not have been a long time ago when Virat Kohli labeled the first day-night Test in the history of cricket, which took place at the Adelaide Oval between Australia and New Zealand, as a “milestone”, but it now seems as though he might not be a fan of it after all.



At least not now, at least not in India.


After Ravi Shastri gave his support to approving Indian hosting its first Test under floodlights, reports are coming out from the Indian camp that the players are in complete disagreement over it.

Apparently, Shastri told the Men in Blue that "he is open to the idea of supporting this proposal [of playing a day-night Test]".


According to DNA, however, the players stand united on their decision against playing pink-ball cricket under floodlights. Their reasoning is that day-night Tests will only hand an advantage to the opponents instead of the home team India.


"If you play day/night Test, then the pitches need to have a bit of grass so that the pink ball doesn't lose the seam early. And with dew also playing a big factor in India during winter, there is every possibility that the home team will lose out on home advantage.


"It is only going to hand advantage to the visiting teams," is the general feeling in the dressing room,” the players told Shastri, according to DNA’s source.




The proposal to play pink-ball Tests came from Amitabh Choudary, who is the acting secretary of BCCI, and was also met with criticism by the Supreme Court Committee of Administrators’ chief Vinod Rai. He believes that the decision was taken without the consultation of players, stating that "players need to be taken into confidence on such issues related to them".
