It is not just the citizens of India and Bangladesh who are excited about the historic Pink-ball Day/Night test match today. The Prime Minister of Bangladesh is equally excited about the same. PM Sheikh Hasina is in the city of joy to witness the second test of the two-match series between India and Bangladesh.
Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee will join Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina to ring the ceremonial bell at the Eden Gardens in the afternoon. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also join the duo for the historic test match.
Team India will be locking horns with Bangladesh tonight at Eden Gardens in Kolkata in their maiden day-night Test. The buzz around the pink-ball match escalated only after the BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly pushed forward the idea.
The match will begin tonight at 7:00 PM IST.
