Eden Gardens Pitch Curator Denies KKR Captain’s Request for IPL Game

Rahane’s Words To Pitch Curator

“The IPL teams have no authority to give directions to pitch curators”, Sujan said in response to Rahane. He argued that Eden gardens surface has not been changed since he joined and that it will always remain the same like that till he is in charge.

RCB’s Struggle in Saturday’s Match

Due to anticyclonic conditions in the Bay of Bengal, the surrounding areas have experienced heavy rainfall ahead of Saturday’s match. Despite the conditions, the match was held as per schedule, but RCB successfully reached the target of 174, finishing with 22 balls remaining.

Significantly, the defending champions KKR will next compete against the Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 26, Wednesday. Then, the next match will be played away against Mumbai Indians before coming back to Eden Gardens to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 3.

Apart from that, both the batting and bowling departments have been addressed by the management team. In their previous match against RCB, the middle order (Kolkata Knight Riders) struggled, and the bowlers gave away too many runs in the powerplay, losing any chance of a recovery later on.
