Ganguly, who made the Day-Night Test into a reality while talking to the official broadcasters of the India vs Bangladesh series said that he was relaxed, relieved and happy. He wanted to take that step for Test cricket as it was really important to revive the format in India. He added that people were not turning up for Test cricket so they did a lot of things such as promotions during and before the Test. Ganguly said that tickets were sold out throughout even on Day 3 though the game was expected to finish early.

The BCCI chief went on to recall the 2001 Test (India-Australia) when there were more than 100,000 people in this stadium and added that he did not want champions like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Ishant Sharma to play in front of empty stands. He concluded that he was extremely happy to see people turn up for the match and that the Day-Night Test should be played across India and not just in Kolkata.
