INDIA SL Test Series: Virat Kohli’s 100th test likely to be ‘PINK BALL DAY-NIGHT Test’ in Bengaluru, BCCI to take final call next week
- BCCI is keen to take the Test series against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru amid the COVID-19 challenge with the possibility of limiting the venues owing to the Covid-19 wave.
- Bengaluru could be the perfect host for Kohli’s 100th Test owing to his massive fan following in the green city.
- The tour is likely to start with the three T20Is instead of Tests because of a smoother bubble-to-bubble transfer of players, the report added.
- BCCI is looking to cut down on travel, the board is keen to play in Dharamsala & Mohali before heading to Bangaluru to finish the international home season.
- As per the initial itinerary, Bengaluru and Mohali were supposed to hold the Test matches before the three T20Is were slated to be played in Mohali, Dharamshala and Lucknow.
“There is a chance that the first two T20Is to start the tour will be played in Dharamshala before the series moves to Mohali for the third T20I and the first Test. Lucknow may miss out on hosting a T20I. Having the pink ball Test in Mohali is difficult since dew is expected to play a big role. However, BCCI is still monitoring the Covid-19 situation in the country. A final call to tweak the schedule will be taken soon,” a BCCI source said.
