The ICC implemented the concept of day-night test to increase the interest of the audience. Since then, some countries play one day-night match in every Test series. Now the day-night test is also to be played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in which India and Australia are going to clash in Adelaide from December 6. India has played only 4 matches with the pink ball so far and now Team India is ready to play the fifth Test.
