KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit has downplayed the Eden Gardens pitch controversy, suggesting the pitch will remain under the control of the curator.
“As a coach, as a team management, we always… whatever the surface has been provided to us, we play. The control, of course, that will be under curator,” Pandit told the media on Sunday.
KKR are currently at the sixth spot in the IPL points table after a win and one loss. They will next take on Mumbai Indians on Monday.
Furthermore, Pandit said that he’s concentrating on KKR’s next match, adding that the team management can have some expectations about the pitch.
“At this moment, my focus is definitely going to be in the next game tomorrow which we are playing,” he said ahead of the clash against Mumbai Indians here.
“At the moment, I am definitely not thinking on what has to be done, what is in whose control. But, let us focus on tomorrow’s game which is very crucial for us.
“I don’t know what is the system in different states or different grounds where the control is over the franchise. But, at the moment, what I understand is the surface which is given to us, probably, of course, as a team management, as a coach, as a captain, we expect something to be provided. That’s all,” he said.
