Their Twenty20 team under Mahmudullah began brightly but could not deny India a 2-1 series victory despite the absence of the resting Virat Kohli. The task, as newly-installed Test captain Mominul Haque is likely to find out, will be significantly tougher in the Test series, which gets underway in Indore on Thursday. The elegant right-hander, who led India in the Twenty20 series, faces a fresh challenge in the series which includes the first day-night Test for both sides in Kolkata from Nov. 22. Rohit is one of the few players from either side with at least some experience of the pink ball to be used for the day-night Test. "Obviously we need a lot of more experience with that ball, but it's a great time for us to play a day-night Test."
