Kolkata turns pink for India's first ever day/night Test

Move over Jaipur. The city of joy is now the pink city, at least for the next five days as it hosts India's first ever D/N Test fixture.

The 42, Kolkata's tallest building, sported a rich pink hue ahead of the second Test between India and Bangladesh on Friday.

Eden Gardens, the 'home of cricket' in India, will bear witness to another historic moment for the sport in the country as it hosts India's first ever day/night Test.

Murals around the city celebrated Kolkata's love for and rich history of hosting cricket over the years.

Clubs and public spaces have also been sporting pink lights and decorative elements ahead of the historic Test.

Blimps carrying the Test match's branding were seen around the Eden Gardens

Security concerns meant the Cricket Association of Bengal cancelled its plan to have Army paratroopers flying into the Eden Gardens to hand over a pink ball each to the captains before the toss of the day-night Test.
