  • Speaking on the experience, Ganguly was mesmerized by the crowd turnout, which is a rare sight in Tests. He dubbed the atmosphere like a World Cup final.

    "Oh! It is an absolutely amazing feeling. Feels great. Look for yourself. It brings back memories of the 2001 Test match if you ask me. This is what Test cricket should be, packed stadiums," he told IANS.

  • During the match, former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid was invited, who extended his warm support and said that he would have loved to be a part of this.

    "It is very kind of him. Feels very good when your team-mates compliment you. Coming from him, it is special. I am very happy. Yes, it is a very satisfying feeling," said Ganguly on Dravid's comments.

    Ganguly doesn't miss being part of this pink-ball era

  • "You cannot say that, as we have all had our time. When we were playing, the T20 had just come in and look at how it has spread and now this. So, you cannot think that way," he added.

    Notably, the venues, Wellington and Christchurch, which would be hosting the Tests against India, don't have floodlights.
