Pink ball day night test cricket at Eden Gardens!!

Eden Garden is going to host the first ever day-night four days test cricket match at Eden Gardens from 18-21st June'2016. The normal local club cricket match is now the talk of the city. And there is an obvious reason for that. The match will be played with Pink Kookaburra ball - first ever to be played in India under the lights. There is a lot of noise about this game in the 'city of Joy'.Pictures are getting shared among the cricket fans on different social media platforms & fans across the country in watching such posts & they are showing real interest about the game. The another obvious reason is there will be live telecast of the match in Star Sports 2 & Star Sports HD2! CAB president & former Team India captain has done this miracle. Brand Saurav Ganguly is just amazing.  Such enthusiasm among the cricket fans was never seen before for a club cricket match in India. And this is probably going to be the first club cricket match which is going to be broadcasted live by such a big prominent sports channel. Harsha Bhogle, VVS Laxman, Dean Jones will be the commentators for the game! And if you are at Kolkata, you should visit Eden Gardens - tickets are at free of cost! There is a talk going on in the cricket fraternity that Eden Garden is going to host the first ever International day-night Test match with the pink kookaburra ball sometime later in the year between India & New Zealand. 


The game will be played between two very good sides among the cricket clubs in the city- Mohunbagan vs Bhawanipore. Both of the sides have some good players who are consistently performing well for their respective clubs. Cricketers of both the teams are very excited & hope they will not disappoint their fans. This will be the beginning of new era in Bengal cricket.
