India vs England: Worried about the lights at Narendra Modi Stadium, players will need to adapt quickly, says Virat Kohli

Ahmedabad: India captain Virat Kohli is worried that the lights at the Narendra Modi Stadium could potentially impact visibility and said the players will need to adapt quickly.

The refurbished stadium, the largest cricketing arena in the world, doesn't have the traditional floodlight towers but a ring of LED lights around the perimeter of its roof. It is similar to the ring of fire' at the Dubai International Stadium, which often poses a challenge to the fielding side.

"It is such an exciting atmosphere here at the largest cricket stadium. I'm a bit more worried about the lights than the colour of the seats," Kohli said at the toss ahead of the day/night Test against England.

"When it gets lost with the lights at the back, it's hard to spot the ball. We've played at a similar stadium at Dubai. It's about angles, body positions. You need to adapt pretty quickly," Kohli added.

During last year's Indian Premier League in the UAE, several regulation catches were dropped by fielders in Dubai due to the blinding lights, as compared to the stadiums Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

Kohli also reiterated that he doesn't think the orange seats at the stands would pose a visibility challenge for the players.
