One evident problem that comes up from the the way India Green played is the fact that their bowlers are facing problems to handle the newest inclusion, the pink cricket ball. In the second innings of their first match and in both the innings of the next, India Green bowlers failed to pick up wickets early in the innings, which helped the batting side settle down well and play comfortably which resulted in big totals to chase for their batsmen.
Duleep Trophy this year has a lot of advancements. The tournament is being played with a pink ball and under lights, which brings in a brand new experience to the players associated with the tournament. With the tournament, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has found a perfect parameter to test the pink ball and if it can be used to play with in India.
