Sujan Mukherjee

Sujan Mukherjee, the pitch curator of Eden Gardens, clarified that no Kolkata Knight Riders official requested specific pitch requirements for their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mukherjee emphasised he maintains good relations with KKR and prepared the pitch following BCCI guidelines. Despite initial criticism, he maintains that he never denied any request from the team.

KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit acknowledges every team values home ground advantages and understands the preference for spin-friendly pitches. However, he emphasized that pitch preparation remains under the curator's control and the team focuses on playing with the provided conditions.

Kolkata Knight Riders secured their first win of the IPL season by defeating Rajasthan Royals, thanks to Quinton de Kock's unbeaten 97. The Eden Gardens pitch controversy emerged, with KKR's request for a spin-supportive pitch denied by the curator, prompting calls to consider moving the franchise to a different venue.

Ex-Bengal cricketer Shreevats Goswami claimed Eden Gardens curator consistently ignores home team requests. The current curator refuted accusations, emphasising adherence to BCCI guidelines and maintaining good relations with KKR. Simon Doull called for prioritising home team needs. KKR captain Rahane desired spin-friendly pitches, but Mukherjee defended his pitch preparations and questioned KKR’s spinners’ performance.

Mumbai Indians, winless in IPL 2025, hope to break their losing streak against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium. MI struggle with Rohit Sharma's form, missing Jasprit Bumrah, and poor selection calls, while KKR is buoyed by Sunil Narine's return and recent successes. Rain is expected, potentially affecting the match outcome.
