"The New Zealand-Australia Test match I saw was pretty exciting. "The Duleep Trophy has not been played with the pink ball before and it's a good challenge. Local people are eager to watch the pink ball game under lights. We are just hoping that all goes well," Rajeev Tyagi, one of the ground's administrators, told AFP.India had been expected to stage their first day-night Test during a tour by New Zealand starting next month. But the plans were shelved to give more time for trials of the pink Kookaburra ball.Designers say the pink ball is far more visible under lights than the red ball that has traditionally been used in Tests.
