Kolkata: The Emerald Green Eden Gardens Turf was bathed in the light of the spotlight again even as a 47,000 crowd cheering for the Indian team on a barrel week.
Every shot played by Indian Batters was welcomed by a familiar ear scream and every opposition goal which fell pushed the roar that echoed through Maidan.
Back International Cricket to Kolkata is marked with a scene that has been missed over the past two years.
And fans broadcast action when men with blue locked horns with New Zealand at Hallowed Stadium for the T20i 3rd match.
More than the result, it is an important excitement on Sundays and it was not found.
And with the opening Indian Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kiswan tore the Bowling Kiwi, Eden has broken.
With the next fall goal, the initial euphoria disappeared, like a mask – which has been made mandatory to enter – which was thrown by many people.
Priyesh Gupta businessman, an Italian resident, decided to watch the match, even though the third T20 was a rubber dead, because he did not want to break a row of watching every Indian match in Eden Gardens.
“The second wave way was hit and the government had imposed restrictions, I felt it would take a few more years to sport to return to the stadium.
But I’m glad it happened so fast,” said Kunal Shaw, a resident of Howrah.
For people like Mohammad Arshad, 27, Vicky Sau, 23, and Sunny Singh, 27, the return of Cricket to Eden Gardens means a good business.
“I sold at least 15 to 20 teams of separate teams from other merchandise every time India played in Eden.
This means revenue is close to Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000 in a day,” Arshad said.
Sunny Singh painted Tricolor India on the face and arms of a team fan near the Howrah Sports Club across the Gardens Eden.
After a gap almost two years, the usual scene from young fans surrounded him before the match returned to vegetables.
