IPL Final Debacle: Iconic EG Snubbed, NMS Again

The BCCI has been under massive fire for its sudden and unexpected last-minute announcement to host the IPL Finals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

While it is the general norm for the last year’s winner to host the final, it seems that Ahmedabad has become the sole centre of Indian cricket in recent years, despite having a pitiful drainage system along with a mediocre pitch management.

People of Kolkata seem especially angry at this decision, as Eden Gardens was set to host the finals before this last-minute debauchery.

This rage is intensified by the fact that the BCCI has not utilised this gem of a stadium to its potential. Eden has not seen a single test match being hosted on its grounds for 6 years.

The hopes for an IPL final are also shattered now, along with no future guarantee of it hosting any of India’s upcoming matches.

This has led to a wave of fury among fans of Indian cricket, who are demanding an end to this facade, if in the end, only Ahmedabad is set to host all the crucial matches.

It will be interesting to see if the BCCI takes notes of this to give gems like Eden Gardens the respect they rightfully deserve.
