BENGALURU: On March 9, 1996, as floodlights bathed the M Chinnaswamy stadium, it marked a new beginning for the venue. It was the first day/night cricket match hosted by the city and India won that World Cup quarterfinal match against Pakistan by 39 runs.
Twenty-six years later, the iconic stadium is being readied for another slice of history - its maiden day/night Test match. The second Test between India and Sri Lanka to be played from March 12-16 was on Tuesday confirmed as a pink-ball contest by the BCCI.
