Kohli, regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of the modern era, also compared the thrill around the Day-Night Test to the fervor that the India vs Pakistan 2016 World T20 match generated at Kolkata.

The India-Bangladesh Test at Kolkata will be the 12th day-night encounter in the history of Test cricket. The match will be played from 1 pm to 8 pm to counter the dew factor.

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly had earlier informed the media that tickets for the first four days of the Test have been sold out. The historic match will also see the SG pink ball being introduced in Test matches in India.
