Sandeep Sarkar, Kolkata: ‘May khiladi tu anadi…’ is playing on the stadium sound system. Sometimes playing, ‘Jhume Jo Pathan Meri Jaan…’. On other IPL evenings, the gallery danced to such songs. Eight to eighty makes me happy. IPL is not just a twenty-two yard fight but a cocktail of cricket and entertainment. People flock to the cricket festival.
But Sunday evening is like another Eden Gardens. Where there is cricket, there is joy, but no exhilaration. Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians to book their place in the playoffs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Kolkata Knight Riders(Kolkata Knight Riders) farewell bell rang. The KKR vs Delhi Capitals match turned out to be a virtual affair. The atmosphere of Eden’s gallery also changed. About 33,000 spectators filled the field in prayer for the miracle, then the solemn tomb of that possibility.
This match is this time IPLThe last match at Eden Gardens. KKR’s seventh home match. CAB has organized a special event to make Sunday evening memorable. A fancy laser show of 2 minutes and 41 seconds will be shown during the match break. Where many memorable moments of Bengal cricket and Eden Gardens will be highlighted.
Eden’s memorable cricketing moments will be shown on the pitch with the help of projectors. CAB treasurer Sanjay Das told ABP Live Bangla on Friday evening, ‘The history of the entire field with the help of projectors, Kapil Dev’s World Cup win, Alan Border’s Australian World Cup, Bengali cricket, Sourav Ganguly, the late Jagmohan Dalmiya, KKR – a documentary made like this has never been shown.’
However, depression descended on Eden long before that. This match was a life-and-death battle for KKR, and Rajasthan Royals had to lose to Mumbai Indians in Mumbai to stay in the playoff race. The fourth over of Delhi Capitals’ innings was going on at Eden. It is known that in Mumbai Hardik PandyaRajasthan Royals have lost. With that, the ticket has been confirmed as the fourth team in the playoffs. KKR is knocked out.
Then Eden was overcome with sadness. KKR camp also has a soft spot.
