In Kolkata, India, there is a cricket stadium called Eden Gardens. It is India’s oldest and second-largest cricket stadium, following the recently completed Narendra Modi Venue. The facility currently has a capacity of 68,000 people. On November 22, 2019, the second Test, India’s first-ever day-and-night match against Bangladesh took place at the venue.
Cricket’s equivalent of the Coliseum is the Eden Gardens and the MCG. In the early days of Indian cricket, it hosted a Test match, which Douglas Jardine’s team won in 1934 in four days. Since then, it has become a sort of pilgrimage for most international cricketers, providing them with the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in front of the most enthusiastic and boisterous fans of the sport.

Pitch Report.
The Eden Gardens Cricket Field in Kolkata has been named India’s best cricket field twice by the BCCI. It is the second-largest cricket stadium in the world and the largest in India.
Pitch Report Because of its smaller boundaries, Eden Gardens is known as a batter’s paradise. However, as the match progresses, the wickets appear to help spinners. However, seam bowlers have also found some happiness in the venue’s most recent matches. Additionally, the captain’s decision to bowl first after winning the toss will be influenced by the dew factor once the sun sets. Kolkata
