Tillu Posted March 25, 2025 Posted March 25, 2025 “As long as I’m here, Eden Gardens pitch will not change," Mukherjee told RevSportz. “As per the IPL rules and regulations, franchises have no say over the pitch. Ever since I have taken charge (as Eden curator), the pitches here have been like this. It was like this in the past. Things haven’t changed now, and it will not be altered in the future. Their (RCB) spinners took four wickets between them. What did the KKR spinners do? Krunal Pandya got three wickets. Suyash Sharma turned the ball to castle Andre Russell," he added. In the post-match conference after the defeat, Rahane had said: “We would love to see the pitch helping the spin bowlers but again, this wicket was undercover for the last one-and-a-half days. Both the spinners we have, the quality they have, they can bowl in any kind of wicket and I am sure they are confident as well." In 2023, Nitish Rana, who was standing-in for the injured Shreyas Iyer had said that every IPL franchise had home advantage except for KKR — whose identity was choking oppositions with spinners. “I think every team has a home advantage except KKR. We play on good pitches and score 200 and 200+ runs and on the other day, we play on slower pitches, and the scores are low. I think this shows the real quality of the batter to adjust to all the conditions," he had said. News18

cowboysfan Posted March 25, 2025 Posted March 25, 2025 I knew it,RCB would have left a lot of grass on the wicket if they had a choice. Forever Indian 1

Eden pitch was different back then. It was spin friendly by nature, not because of GG. Pitches were relaid in 2016 by bringing the soil from NZ. Since then Eden pitches haven't helped spin the same way. tapandrun 1

putrevus Posted March 26, 2025 Posted March 26, 2025 (edited) It is stupid from BCCI , franchises should be able to dictate what pitches they want for their team. If BCCI is in charge then how could CSK always get pitches suiting their spinners plus genius Dhoni. Edited March 26, 2025 by putrevus Lord 1
