Since their historic first encounter there in November 1991, in which ’90s stars Allan Donald and Sachin Tendulkar stole the show, Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, South Africa and India became joined at the hip in cricketing.
The weather conditions in Kolkata continues to be a concern for the upcoming Rajasthan Royals match against Gujarat Titans at Eden.
Telecom operator Reliance Jio will provide free WiFi services at six cricket stadiums uring the upcoming T20 World Cup matches.
Outside the Eden Gardens today was a carnival like atmosphere. This was more than just another opening day of just another test match, this was the opportunity to see Sachin Tendulkar as a professional cricketer on the hallowed turf for one last time.
