The Ministry
of External Affairs confirmed that the Bangladesh prime minister will be at
Eden Gardens in Kolkata to witness the first day-night Test between the two
teams.

The decision
has resulted in a straight surge in ticket sale as CAB confirmed of a full
house in the first three days of the Test match.

Skipper
Virat Kohli said Thursday he welcomed the “buzz” around India’s grand day-night
Test debut but said pink-ball matches should not become a regular occurrence.

 India begin their pink-ball journey against
Bangladesh on Friday in Kolkata, with the first four days sold out.
