The India vs Australia pink-ball Test in Adelaide may face interruptions as thunderstorms are forecast on Day 1, Friday. Adelaide pitch curator Damian Hough assured the pitch played no role in India's infamous 36-run collapse in 2020, crediting Australia's exceptional bowling. Hough noted weather heavily influences the pink ball's movement and highlighted the twilight session as the most challenging for batters. "Under the right conditions, the ball moves regardless of the pitch," he explained. While preparations aim to ensure fair play, potential rain delays could test both teams’ adaptability in this crucial day-night match.
