Buildings illuminated with pink lights, LED boards, cricket-themed murals, Pink-Tinku mascots – Kolkata geared up for the first day/night Test between India and Bangladesh.

The players have already started dreaming about it.

While the coaches are preparing for it...

And the home captain is getting all the practice he can, even on the streets.

Auspicious news for Bangladesh before the start as one of their star players welcomed his baby daughter in the world.

In Australia, Lea Tahuhu was content in watching her childhood unfold on stage.

Safe to say, even Steve Smith has come a long way from the Harry Potter days...

And now is more adept at juggling bowlers!

And who knew cutting an avocado was so dangerous!

Meanwhile, when it comes to Q&A on social media, cricketers have to be as spontaneous as they are on the field to tackle a 'bouncer' of a question!
