KL Rahul, preparing for his first Day/Night Test, finds the pink Kookaburra challenging. It feels harder, travels faster, and is difficult to spot. He's consulting teammates about their pink-ball experiences to prepare for the Adelaide Test,

KL Rahul batted out 76 balls in a tricky first innings in Perth, and stood up to another 176 in the second dig, but come Friday, he will be on uncharted territory. For the Adelaide Test will be his first outing in a pink ball day-night Test where bowlers tend to rule, particularly in this part of the world.

There has been some chatter in dressing room about how it is a bit tricky to pick the shiny pink ball from a bowler's hands.

Rahul started his Test career in Australia exactly a decade back as a middle-order batter, who later opened. His batting slot in both the Test and ODI set-up was far from steady all these years and this affected him mentally.

Following his impressive performance in the 1st Test in Perth in the absence of skipper Rohit Sharma there has been a debate on whether Rahul should continue as an opener.
