KKR pitch controversy explained: Why are critics slamming Eden Gardens curator?
India TodayEden Gardens pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee was criticised by fans and experts alike after he said that no franchise will dictate terms to him when it comes to the preparation of the wicket. However, Rahane's comments did not sit well with the Eden pitch curator, who asked the KKR spinners to bowl better on the wicket. Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle added to Doull's observations, stating that if he was in the KKR camp, he would be really unhappy right now with the words that came out of the curator's mouth. Suyash Sharma turned the ball to castle Andre Russell.” It needs to be noted that Eden Gardens did produce a spin-friendly track even at the 2023 ODI World Cup, just 6 months before the pitch turned into a prime batting track for the IPL 2024.
