Eden Gardens' pitch for the recent India-South Africa Test, which concluded in under three days, has received a 'satisfactory' rating from the ICC. This rating comes despite criticism regarding the pitch being 'too dry' and a low-scoring match where India failed to chase 124. The outfield was rated 'very good.' The Cricket Association of Bengal and curator Sujan Mukherjee expressed relief, with Mukherjee attributing the match outcome to player batting performance rather than pitch conditions.
