Day-Night Test: All roads lead to Eden as city turns pink
Kolkata, Nov 22: Fans wearing numbered jerseys and making their way in hundreds no sooner than the gates opened at the Eden Gardens is a sight many would mistake with an ODI or T20I at the historic ground. But no, this was not any limited-overs game. This was BCCI President Sourav Gangulys dream seeing the light of the day. After days of building up and hysteria, the D-Day was here as India and Bangladesh geared up to play their maiden Day-Night Test.
Bangladesh's Kiwi spin bowling coach Daniel Vettori had already predicted that the atmosphere would be like a limited-overs game, but Friday morning was nothing short of a spectacle as the cricket crazy fans in the city all headed to the amphitheatre to be a part of the history. Hawkers standing with India flags and jerseys, some waiting to paint the Indian tri-colour on the fans' face, it was almost Durga Puja was back in the City of Joy.
