Ganguly Defends Gambhir, Blames Pitch For Eden Gardens Loss

After India’s 30-run Test defeat to South Africa, CAB president Sourav Ganguly clarified that BCCI curators control pitch preparation, not him. He admitted the Eden Gardens pitch wasn’t ideal for batting but defended coach Gautam Gambhir, stating there’s no need for his sacking. Ganguly praised Gambhir and captain Gill’s prior performances.
