Virat Kohli will be happy to see a packed house at the Eden Gardens when India take on Bangladesh in the first-ever Day/Night Test in India next week.
After
winning the first match handsomely, India will come here for the second test
against Bangladesh, which will be played under lights from November 22-26.
India
have had their apprehensions about playing Tests under lights with the pink
ball, but since Ganguly took over as BCCI chief, he pushed for the same and
made it happen. The former India captain had said previously that it took three
seconds for Kohli to say yes to D/N Tests.
"He
is a great player and he should be playing in front of a packed house. He will
be happy to see a full house when he walks out to bat. You will love the
atmosphere at Eden, so come and watch the match," Ganguly said while
unveiling the official pink Test mascots -- Pinku and Tinku -- at the Eden
Gardens.
"“You can’t have greats of Indian cricket play in front
of empty stands. And here you will have a full house for the first three days.”
" - Sourav Ganguly
He
also said that Test cricket needed a revamp after empty stands were becoming a
common feature in the country, most recently during the home series against
South Africa.
"That's
the way forward. Test cricket needed a rejuvenation," said Ganguly.
"It
happens all around the world. Somewhere it had to start. India is the biggest
country in terms of cricket. I think that rejuvenation was important.
"The
challenge was to get people back into the ground. An India-Pakistan match would
anyways get filled anywhere in the world. You just announce it and the ground
will be filled," the former India captain said.
