Eden Gardens-Pitch Report
As predicted in the last match, this Eden Gardens pitch was a belter and CSK used the pitch the most by scoring 236 runs but KKR lost the match by 49 runs. Lot of runs scored on this wicket so it will help the batsman than bowlers because this wicket has not been kind to fast bowlers, so Gujarat Titans, who have barely had to use Rahul Tewatia’s legspin, might decide to give him a proper run here in this wicket. The impact player will be the key on this match because any batsman will be probably be replaced with a good batsman
