Eden Gardens is an international cricket stadium in Kolkata, India. Established in 1864, it is the oldest[4][5][6] and second-largest cricket stadium in India and third-largest in the world. The stadium currently has a capacity of 68,000.[7] It is owned and operated by Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and is the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders. It houses the headquarters of Cricket Association of Bengal.
Eden Gardens is often referred to as home of Indian cricket and has also been described as "cricket's answer to the Colosseum" [8] and called the "Mecca of Indian cricket", due to it being the first purpose-built ground for the sport.[9][10] Eden Gardens has hosted matches in major international competitions including the World Cup, World Twenty20 and Asia Cup. In 1987, Eden Gardens became the second stadium to host a World Cup final. The 2016 ICC World Twenty20 final was held at the stadium, with the West Indies beating England in a closely fought encounter. Eden Gardens witnessed a record crowd of 110,564 in the 1996 India Vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup Semi Final.
