Sourav Ganguly has revealed that tickets for the first four days of D/N Test between India and Bangladesh have been sold out. Former Indian captain and current BCCI President Ganguly is excited to see a full house in a Test after a long time and is hopeful of a fantastic D/N debut Test for India.
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly was instrumental in bringing D/N Test to India as he believed that Test cricket needed rejuvenation and what better stadium to start a new chapter in the history of Indian cricket than the Eden Gardens. These are exciting times for both the players as well as the supporters and that is seen in the ticket sales as the tickets for the first four days have been sold out.
Ganguly is hopeful that there will not be empty stands for the pink-ball Tests and is looking forward to what will be a carnival of cricket.
"It's sold out (for four days) and I'm extremely happy (about it)," Ganguly told TOI after visiting the BCCI headquarters.
Ganguly also unveiled the mascots for the pink-ball Test Pinku and Tinku. The Eden Gardens is one of the biggest stadiums in the world with a capacity of 67,000 and come November 22, the entire stadium is ready to turn pink to celebrate a new beginning in Indian Test cricket.
