Earlier in IPL 2025, the Eden Gardens pitch controversy came to the fore when KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) captain Ajinkya Rahane stated that he would want the track to be more spin-friendly, but the curator Sujan Mukherjee turned down the idea. As the Eden Gardens pitch controversy continued, both Harsha Bhogle and Simon Doull, part of an online discussion on Cricbuzz, criticised Sujan Mukherjee's stance of not helping KKR by preparing the pitches of their liking on their home ground. Simon Doull had even gone on to suggest that KKR should think about shifting their base from the Eden Gardens to some other stadium.
