Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Chandrakant Pandit on Sunday supported the idea of teams having greater control over the nature of pitches at their home venues, saying they too “expect something to be provided” at Eden Gardens.
The nature of the pitch at KKR’s home venue has been in discussion ever since captain Ajinkya Rahane wished getting more support for his spinners at the Eden Gardens.
“As a coach, as a team management, we always… whatever the surface has been provided to us, we play. The control, of course, that will be under curator,” Pandit told the media in Mumbai on today.
Pandit, who refrained from making any definite comments on the topic, said any team including KKR would like to play on pitches that support their skills.
“At this moment, my focus is definitely going to be in the next game tomorrow which we are playing,” he said ahead of the clash against Mumbai Indians.
