The well -known commentators Harsha Bhogle and Simon Doull were significantly absent between Monday’s match between Kalkata’s Knight and Gujarat Titans. The PTI press agency said they could have been removed from the KKR VS GT accessories because of their earlier comments on the curator Eden at the beginning of the season.
The controversy soon broke out in this year’s Premier League, when Bhogle and Doull criticized the curator of the Eden Gardens Sujan Mukherjee playground for not preparing the surface that suited KRC. Both commentators raised concerns about the alleged arrogance of Mukherjee, after publicly stating that he would not have entry from KKR proceedings to prepare the playground.
When Doull and Bhogle talked about Cricbuzz, they strongly criticized the attitude of the curator and even indicated that the KKR should consider abandoning Eden if they could not get the playground suitable for their strengths.
“If (curator) does not hold DBA about what the home team wants … Pays for stadiums, pays for what is happening in IPL. If it still does not listen, then simply move the franchise. His task is not to pass on the game.

Bhogle repeated sentiment: “If they play at home, they should get a kind of song that suits their pitch.
Captain Ajinkya Rahane also expressed frustration after the loss of the RCB seasonal opener and said that the team had applied for a slower playground in favor of their spin – Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine and Moeen Ali.
According to PTI, the cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) was angry with notes and took quick steps. The Cab’s Minister Naresh Ojha reportedly wrote BCCi almost 10 days ago and demanded the removal of Bhogle and Doulla from the comments for home games KRK.
Interestingly, neither Bhogle nor Doull were on Monday in KKR vs GT on Monday. However, sources close to Bhogle claimed that he was not planned for any KRK matches regardless of controversy.
It remains unclear whether the list of comments was set before or after a formal complaint of CAB.
“Bhogle and Doull are no longer part of the IPL team for home matches KKR.
