Ajinkya Rahane Gives Fiery Take On Eden Gardens 'Pitch' Row: "Bawal Ho Jayega..."
Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane was once again visibly disappointed with the nature of the Eden Gardens pitch and lamented over lack of help for spinners after the team's second loss at home. However, the seasoned campaigner chose his words carefully when the contentious topic of 'home advantage' was brought up, saying any comment from him could trigger a "bawal" (controversy). On a night when spin was expected to play a crucial role, Lucknow Super Giants edged past the defending champions by four runs, handing Rahane's KKR their second loss in three home games this season. "Firstly, there was no help for the spinners, let me clear that," Rahane said after the game.
