    Also, a giant pink balloon would be placed near the stadium.

  • The Indians put in a commendable shift in Indore. Notably, they also trained in the nets with the pink ball.

    Following an early finish to the Test, the Indians continued to do so even on Day 4.

    This has helped them get accustomed to the new format and get set for the D/N Test, which would be a first-time affair for both sides.
