HILARIOUS! Lord's Cricket Ground authorities troll Sourav Ganguly for installing a bell at Eden Gardens

New Delhi: Ahead of India's second cricket Test against New Zealand, the much-awaited bell was finally installed at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.

For quite some time, Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Sourav Ganguly wanted to introduce the ritual which takes before a Test match at the hallowed Lord's.

Taking to social micro-blogging site Twitter, the authorities of cricket's Mecca trolled Dada for imitating the bell at Lord's.

India's first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev will ring the bell, resembling the one at Lord's cricket ground in London, on the first day of the match.

The silver-coated bell was from Chandigarh and installed just above the sight screen at the BC Roy club house-end.

The second India-New Zealand Test is scheduled to start on September 30.
