During the pre-match press conference vice-captain Bumrah said that the pink ball looks different while fielding as it comes earlier than what players perceive.

“As professional cricketers, we need to adjust as quickly as possible. The pink ball looks different while fielding. It comes earlier than what you perceive,” Bumrah said during the pre-match virtual media interaction.

“In the afternoon session, the ball may not swing much but in the evening, it can swing more, all these small points (are being discussed),” he said.

Whatever we have played, they were all in different conditions – Jasprit Bumrah on pink-ball Tests

The premier fast bowler mentioned that India have not played many pink-ball Tests and the games they have played in the past, had different conditions, so the team can not set one parameter.

“We have not played many pink ball matches and whatever we have played, they were all in different conditions, so no parameter can be set (on adjustments required).”

“So whatever little experience you have gathered and the feedback you have taken, you work on things that are under our control,” the fast bowler added.

India have a 1-0 lead in the two-match series as in the first Test, Sri Lanka suffered a humiliating defeat against India by an innings and 222 runs. Notably, India had posted 574/8d on the board in the first innings of the match and Sri Lanka were bowled out for 174 and 178 in the second and third innings of the match.
