The pitch line between Kolkata Knight Riders Management and The Curator is running for now. While many experts were of the opinion that KKR should get the pitch that they wanted and if it was not that KKR should replace the site of their house in a different place.
However, Ajinkya Rahain said he was “really happy” with the pitch. “Looks good, I’m really happy with the pitch, we were also bowling earlier. It will suit our spinners, at home, you should get what you want, but we will need to assess the situation quickly with the bat,” Rahan said.
Earlier, cricketer-Analyst Simon Doll said KKR should consider “carrying the franchise elsewhere”.
“If she is (curator), the home team is not paying attention to what she wants … I mean they are paying the stadium fees, they are paying for what is going on in the IPL, but if they are still not paying attention to what they want to the home team, just take the franchise somewhere else.
Cricket commentator Harsh Bhogle also worked on the matter. “If they are playing at home, they should get the track that they think they are favorable for their bowlers. I have seen what KKR Curator has said. If I am in KKR camp, I am very sad that I am very sad that what they said, I am not asking for 120 surfaces. I will just give a surface where my bowlers can get.
