BCCI president Ganguly reveals it took just three seconds for Kohli to agree to play day-night Test

“Just three seconds” is all that it took Sourav Ganguly to convince India captain Virat Kohli into playing a day-night Test match against Bangladesh, the BCCI president revealed on Sunday.

Less than a week after he took reins of BCCI, Ganguly, who had introduced pink ball at the domestic level as the technical committee chairman three years ago, was successful in changing the Indian Cricket Board’s stance.

India thus will finally play its first-ever day-night Test versus Bangladesh at Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 22-26, about four years after Australia and New Zealand set it going in Adelaide.
