Technically I cannot say. But as a fan, I can see how this can work in the evening with people coming from work and watching."And everything at night is better usually. It is more dramatic. I don't know if this will be the future or not, but it is great to have something like this and it is a great option."Sania was invited by Sourav Ganguly, the new chairperson of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, to watch the country's maiden day-night Test at the historic at Eden Gardens."Sourav invited us personally as there is also a felicitation. It is great to be a part of something historic."I know Sourav for quite a long time and there was no question of saying no," she said.
