India vs Prime Minister's XI live streaming: When and where to watch pink-ball practice match in India?

Team India will be up against the Prime Minister's XI in the two-day pink-ball warm-up match in Canberra as the visitors try and get used to the day-night conditions a bit ahead of the Adelaide Test. India are 1-0 up in the five-match series and will welcome back their regular skipper Rohit Sharma.

After the high of Perth, the Indian team will be back on the field to get themselves acclimatised to day-night Test cricket with the pink ball after more than three years and over four years in Australia. The horrors of Adelaide 2020 are as fresh as raw wounds and India would certainly want to wipe that out of the memory. A 1-0 lead helps but since every match is vital in the World Test Championship (WTC) context, India can't afford to take the foot off the gas. 

The focus will be on the batters to get as much practice playing the pink ball, which moves a bit more than the red cherry and bat a bit more under lights as the final session can get difficult for the batters. The returns improved for the Indian batting but the spotlight will be on skipper Rohit Sharma and No 3 batter Shubman Gill. Rohit is set to return after missing the opener while there are question marks over Gill's participation as he is coming off the thumb injury he suffered during fielding practice before the Perth Test.

Since it's only two days, it's sort of an elongated one-day and India will hope to get the best out of it ahead of the next week's clash because mind you, Australia will be hurting after losing and hence, dangerous.
