Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR ) fans have received a massive boost as they will play all their home matches for IPL 2025 at Eden Garden. According to a report from RevSportz, the Cricket Association Of Bengal (CAB) has conveyed this update to KKR management.
Notably, Eden Gardens is set to undergo renovation ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, which will be hosted in India, which is why there were reports that the defending champions might play just a few games at Eden Garden in IPL 2025 and then shift to Narsingarh in Tripura, that would have acted as their home ground.
However, Revsports have declined such reports and remarked that Eden Gardens is likely to undergo renovation after IPL 2025. The same report mentioned that CAB has written a letter to KKR management and told that the board would be able to host KKR's all home games for IPL 2025 at Eden Gardens. It is worth noting that there were reports that Eden Gardens have also bid to host the T20 World Cup 2026 final.
