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.
