The history of Indian cricket is intertwined with the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. And Eden will not be participating in mega-events like the Indian Premier League (IPL), it can’t happen. Such is the position of Eden in the world of cricket. Just as the roar of this field gives extra encouragement to the players, Eden is a place of different feelings for cricket lovers.
CAB is trying its best to make the organization of the two play-off matches of this year’s IPL 100% beautiful. The CAB officials did not make any mistake in arranging Eden in a colourful way as they are not lacking in the care of the wicket or the outfield. Kolkata’s cricket paradise has been redesigned to welcome the IPL.
Eden has been adapted to suit the mood of the IPL. According to the plan of the CAB officials, the whole of Eden is filled with colourful colours and lighting. Equal importance is given everywhere, whether inside or outside the stadium. And it is attracting the attention of cricket fans.
CAB officials hope that their event will impress everyone. However, the wicket will be more important than the decoration of the stadium. It is not unknown to them that the character of the wicket adds an extra dimension to the beauty of cricket. So, the authorities are on alert day and night to save the wicket and the field from the rain.
Meanwhile, after the end of the IPL, the CAB is going to start the reform work in Eden. Flood lights will be modernized. The Kolkata-based daily Anandabazar had earlier said that a new type of LED lamp would be used in Eden. CAB officials want to start that work as soon as possible.
