Why was there a change in the timing of Guwahati test match?

In fact, in northeastern cities like Guwahati, sunrise occurs early and sunset also occurs early. Due to natural light fading early in the evening, the BCCI changed the tee timings and schedule of the Test match. Its objective is to ensure that a maximum of 90 overs can be played in a day. For this reason BCCI decided to adjust the timing of the session.
