  • but CAB & BCCI must do something to keep this great ground to be world class, the seating arrangements must be better, so is the sanitation & water supply part & above all the drainage facility of the ground, a sharp shower for 30 mins can bring doomsday to the ground as it will be transformed from a world class ground to a big lake, a better giant screen is must, plz CAB & BCCI, do something

  • The Eden Gardens, Kolkata was the best in the world during the regime of Mr. Jagmohan Dalmia. It is now slowly down graded and losing its previous pride. I wish Mr. Dalmia once again comes back to power and restore the lost esteem & pride.
  • ITS MY HOME GROUND
  • we know that maharaj
  • Please refer to my earlier comments (2 months ago) when I wished that Mr. Dalmiya should come back to power again and restore the glory of Eden. My desire has come true and he has returned with a wide margin. I now hope that with his able administration and motivating power, Bengal will again be back to Elite group in domestic cricket. I also wish that Mr. Dalmiya becomes BCCI President again in near future.
