The topic of home lead has resurfaced as a significant discussion point in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Ajinkya Rahane was found in the center of the discussion after his side The narrow loss of four giants in LuckNow Super Giants (LSG) In the Eden Gardens.
With KKR who suffered his second defeat at home this season, the attention quickly turned to the conditions of his iconic home ground and the role of local land curator, Sujan Mukherjee. Known for his direct nature, Sujan had previously been holding holders, saying that no franchise would dictate the nature of the surface that he prepares in the Eden Gardens. This comment caused controversy and fed suggestions that the traditional home advantage at home may not exist for some tournament teams.
Kkr Ajinkya Rahane’s pattern and measured response
Following the defeat of LSG, Rahane, at the party’s press conference, wondered if the idea of ”home advantage” has really a sense in a league where even the hosts seem to fight for their own grass. Instead of giving a definitive response that could cause controversy, Rahane adopted a diplomatic approach and chose to divert the question with a subtle sarcasm and composite behavior. Declared, “There are enough conversations about the wick. Your have already given enough advertising. If I say something else, it will end up being controversial,” Rahane seemed to recognize the whirlwind opinions, but made it clear that he would not add fuel to the fire by making a public statement that could be misinterpreted.

A subtle fist to the Eden Gardens Commissioner
Commented more“Our curator has a lot of advertising. I think he is satisfied with this advertising. You can write anything about the advantage of home. If I feel something, I will tell IPL instead of talking here.” It was a direct excavation but touch to Mukherjee, who had previously insisted that the terrain preparations for the Eden Gardens would follow their only domain, regardless of any request or pressure from the home team. Saying that the commissioner seems “Happy with advertising” Rahane subtly implied that Mukherjee’s words had attracted unnecessary attention to the matter, which in turn affected the narrative that surrounds the KKR games.
