Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo on Tuesday said that the decision to make their second Test against India in Kolkata a day - night affair is a great opportunity.
India go into the series on the back of a record 11 - match winning streak in home Test series and were ruthless in their 3 - 0 annihilation of South Africa but Domingo believes that their unfamiliarity with the pink ball is good news for the visitors.
"We know India are a good Test team.
Probably they are the number one team in the world, but there will be uncertainty among players of both the teams of playing a pink ball Test, " he said.
"As a coach I think it's a great opportunity.
I don't think India played a pink ball Test before, we too haven't played a pink ball Test either.
It's going to be a massive occasion at the Eden Gardens.
It will be a new experience for both teams. So we're very excited.
Both teams don't quite know what to expect, so it could work in our advantage, could work in our favour. "
Domingo also said that the venue of the Test - the iconic Eden Gardens - only makes it better.
"It's going to be a great occasion under lights in Kolkata against one of the best team of all formats.
So we're really looking forward to the challenge.
