The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati celebrated its historic Test cricket debut on Saturday, November 22. Before the toss, BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia presented memorial gold-plated coins to both captains, India's stand-in Rishabh Pant and South Africa's Temba Bavuma, commemorating the occasion as the city's first-ever red-ball international and marking India's 30th Test venue.

The day opened with a ceremonial flourish, as BCCI President Mithun Manhas joined Saikia to ring the bell, officially starting play in this landmark match. Adding sentimental value, both captains also signed a commemorative portrait of ACA Stadium, further highlighting the event's symbolic significance.
