Fans gather in huge numbers at Eden Gardens as Test cricket returns to Kolkata after six years.

The pitch at Eden Gardens has always been a talking point, especially in the past over year. Ahead of the first Test, the pitch was the point of discussion once again as Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir spent a long time having a discussion with curator Sujan Mukherjee. While Gill looked a bit concerned with the pitch over the past two days, Gambhir wore a smiling look as he walked back. How will it behave? Just wait and watch.

South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad has shared his thoughts on playing a Test match at the Eden Gardens and the significance it holds.

There was a selection dilemma between Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel on who should play in the playing XI. With Pant being the vice-captain, the question was, will Jurel also make the XI? India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate confirmed that both will play.
