- Kept Eden Garden match ready
CAB in the last couple of years drew a lot of flak as they failed to complete a few international matches given to them. India’s two matches against South Africa washed away due to rain. An afternoon rain made Kolkata’s ground soft, as a result, it has become difficult for the groundsmen to dry the ground within three or four hours. But Sourav Ganguly is different from other CAB mandarins as he himself walked into the ground and monitored the entire work of renovation at the Eden Gardens. Now if there is a rain threat in Kolkata, the width and breadth of the Eden Gardens will be covered by trampoline. Special sands also used to dry the ground. He also changed the experience of spectators as he worked on the stands and focus on the amenities of cricket spectators. Now a cricket spectator will find the stands dust free and foods and water are also available. You will not also have to face any problem after the end of the match as Kolkata Police are be deployed there to guide you to the main road outside of the stadium. Eden Gardens has a long tradition of tragedies due to overcrowded stadiums.
