IPL 2025 is currently embroiled in controversy over unfavourable pitch conditions, with KKR being one of the loudest critics. The franchise is in a media war with the Eden Gardens pitch curator, with both parties sharing their thoughts publicly. Other team officials, including LSG mentor Zaheer Khan, PBKS bowling coach Trevor Gonsalves, and CSK head coach Stephen Fleming, have also voiced their concerns about pitch conditions.
In response to the controversy, Gujarat Titans COO Colonel Arvinder Singh spoke out, stating that the rules and regulations regarding pitch conditions are clear and apply to all teams. He emphasized that home advantage should come from knowing and utilizing the conditions of your home ground, rather than demanding specific types of pitches. Singh’s comments are supported by IPL Playing Conditions, which state that the ground authority is responsible for pitch selection and preparation.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have been performing well this season, with Shubman Gill showcasing strong leadership as captain. The team currently sits at the top of the IPL 2025 points table with four wins and one defeat. Singh’s message serves as a reminder to all franchises to adhere to the established rules and regulations regarding pitch conditions in the IPL.
