CAB organized a special laser show during the two innings break in the match. The news was first written by ABP Live Bangla. There is a laser show of about 2 minutes and 25 seconds. From Kapil Dev’s India’s World Cup victory in 1983 to Alan Border’s Australia’s World Champion in 1987, Bengal’s Ranji victory, the rise of Sourav Ganguly, the legendary cricket administrator Jagmohan Dalmiya, the historic Test match of 2001 – various moments were highlighted there.
