Gautam Gambhir has been under immense fire for the wicket he requested at the Eden Gardens, for the 1st IND vs SA Test. The Eden Gardens pitch, which hosted the India vs South Africa First Test, was criticised and considered a rank turner, which had a significant impact on the Indians themselves.
However, CAB President Sourav Ganguly has consistently denied taking any responsibility, claiming that they have delivered only the requests that were made to them.
Ever since India played on the rank turner pitch at the Eden Gardens, several former cricketers, as well as cricket analysts, have blamed the CAB and their president, Sourav Ganguly, for such an unconventional track.
