The day/night Test cricket will <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-bangladesh-2nd-test-preview-hosts-look-to-continue-their-dominance-at-the-eden-gardens-in-the-historic-d-n-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">finally make its debut</a> in India as the home team faces Bangladesh in the Test match starting on Friday at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This will be the first-ever appearance in a D/N Test match for both India and Bangladesh who are currently part of a 2-match Test series. Among the first ten full-member nations, these two are the only countries to not feature in a Test match to be played under the lights till date.

India made an attempt at playing the longer format matches under the floodlights as early as in 1997. However, the dew factor made the experiment a pale idea and this innovation was shelved for the next two decades. This idea was brought back into domestic set-up during the 2016/17 season after Australia hosted the first-ever day/night Test match in 2015. After three seasons of trails, the historic match got approval from both the Cricket Boards.

Here are the five things to be known ahead of the first-ever day/night Test match to be hosted by India:

Historically, the Test matches in India start at 9:30 AM and a few at 9 AM local time. The day/night Test, however, will start at 1 PM local time and will be played until 8:30 PM including 30 minutes extra time. One of the reasons for early starts is to keep down the time played in wet outfield caused by the dew.

The closing time is equivalent to the start time of the IPL matches when the dew comes into full effect. There will be a 40-minute Tea interval starting from 3:00 PM and the 2nd session will commence from 3:40 PM. The dinner/supper break will be taken at 5:40 PM and will be of 20 minutes.

The last session will be from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and could go until 8:30 PM if the minimum of 90 overs are not bowled. At least one and a half sessions of the day are played under the lights due to early sun-set in Kolkata. The recent most Test match hosted by this venue in 2017 saw the day coming to an end well before 4:30 PM due to bad light.

2. Attendance and Ticket Pricing for the match:

The new BCCI President <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tickets-for-first-four-days-of-day-night-test-have-been-sold-out-sourav-ganguly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sourav Ganguly</a> is making necessary arrangements to make sure there will be a huge turn-up at the Eden Gardens for the historic day-night Test match starting on November 22nd. Ganguly, who also hails from Kolkata, is incidentally the President of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) as well. He has been in this role for nearly four years as he was elected for the first time in 2015.

Inside one month of his tenure as BCCI President, Ganguly made the moves in bringing back the idea of D/N Test match. He now has ensured there will be an attendance of more than 50000 during the first three days of the match. The ticket prices for this game have been brought down to as low as Rs.50. The current capacity of the Eden Gardens is around 68000 which is said to be a lot higher in the past decades.

The renovations to the stadium made for the 2011 World Cup have brought down the seating capacity here. The venue had a capacity of 40000 prior to the 1987 World Cup but was raised to an unverified figure. There were reports of attendance crossing 1,00,000 during various high profile matches in the 1990s including the infamous 1996 semi-final between India and Sri Lanka.

3. History of pink-ball matches and day/night first-class cricket in India:

The maiden Test match under floodlights in India will be played more than 22 years after the first-ever day/night first-class match it hosted. The final of the 1996/97 Ranji Trophy season was marked to be the first-ever day/night first-class fixture. Mumbai and Delhi clashed off in the game played at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior. Mumbai, who batted first, posted 630 with help of centuries from Jatin Paranjpe (111) and Amol Muzumdar (144).

Delhi began the final day on 365/2 and crossed 500-run mark with six wickets in hand as Ashu Dani (178) and Ajay Sharma (176) scored centuries by sharing a 312-run partnership. However, Mumbai took a 71-run first-innings lead to win the title by taking the last 6 wickets for just 53 runs. The match was played in coloured clothing and with the white ball only. The Pink ball made its entry in India during the CAB Super League final played between Mohun Bagan vs Bhowanipore in 2016.

The Eden Gardens hosted this game as well which featured Wriddhiman Saha and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hume-bhi-batao-raaz-ishant-sharma-asks-mohammed-shamis-secret-behind-his-success/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mohammed Shami</a> for the Mohun Bagan. Shami stood out as the player of the match for his 5-wicket haul. Later in the same year, Pink Ball made its debut in Indian first-class cricket during the Duleep Trophy which was played under the lights. The 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons of Duleep Trophy were also played in day/night format with a pink ball.

4. The History of ‘SG’ Ball in India:

The Sanspareils Greenlands, the manufacturer of the balls widely known as SG, will also have a moment to remember on Friday. The “Pink Balls” manufactured by them will be used for the first time ever. All the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/why-are-pink-balls-used-instead-of-red-in-day-night-tests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pink ball</a> matches that have taken place in the past used the Kookaburra Pink. The manufacturer company has a history of 87 years.

Brothers Kedarnath and Dwarakanath Anand established the company in Sialkot way back in 1931 to manufacture a wide range of goods related to the sports. Post the partition of India, their family moved to Agra and an SG factory was set up in Meerut in 1950. The company remained as a cricket gear provider until the late 1980s when the “SG Ball” came into the picture.

The Sanspareils Co. manufactured handmade balls for Test cricket and got it approved by the BCCI in 1991. Since then, the SG ball became the official ball for all Test matches played on Indian soil and has been used in all domestic tournaments. A total of 72 pink balls were delivered by the SG for the inaugural day/night Test match in India.

5. The history of day/night Test matches:

The match between India and Bangladesh will be only the 12th day/night match in Test history but the first to feature either of the teams. This game is not only the first D/N Test to be hosted by India but also the first in the sub-continent. The Adelaide Oval hosted the first-ever Test match under the lights back in 2015 where Australia faced New Zealand.

The Aussies won the game by three wickets and featured in four more D/N Tests thereafter and won all of those. They are slated to play their 6th day-night Test later this month against Pakistan in Adelaide. All the 11 Day/Night Tests have produced results and organizers in India are working hard to keep that streak going along by providing a sporting track.

Nine of those 11 matches have been won by the home team and visiting side got away with a win twice. Interestingly, Sri Lanka were the winning visiting team on both occasions. They defeated Pakistan by 68 runs in the game played at the Dubai Stadium in 2017 and registered a 4-wicket win against the West Indies last year in the Test match hosted by Bridgetown.
