The upcoming first Test between India and South Africa will mark the return of red-ball cricket to Eden Gardens after the memorable pink-ball Test against Bangladesh in 2019. But much has changed since then, as a new generation of Indian players has taken charge following the retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin.

While the surface is expected to offer a turn, it won’t be overly tricky or unpredictable. Mukherjee has also hinted that he tried to prepare the wicket in a way that would benefit the home side slightly, ensuring India gets the kind of support they need without compromising the overall quality of the surface.
The pitch curator was quoted as saying by Revsportz, “The pitch will be good. It will be a good sporting wicket. As the days progress, there will be a turn. There will be bounce. But everybody—batter, bowler—there is something for everybody on this pitch. The chat with the team was like every home team. See, if you go to Australia, there will be bounce. Likewise, Indian teams ask for a bit of turn. Not much, but they ask for a bit of turn.”
