From Chepack to Eden Gardens: Is there the benefit of the house in the IPL too? , Cricket news

New Delhi: No matter what the game, the concept of household benefits and thoughts make a difference to a team. There is an understanding and appropriate argument behind the idea: home team understands the circumstances, understands the surface, captivating fan supports and these factors can differentiate between winning and losing.
The game is true during the incident and the UEFA was the factors behind the Barsilona’s 38-game winning line at home in the Champions League, a run that spread for seven years. It was a central factor behind the topping Oklahoma City Thunder at the NBA Western Conference in 2024-25, as he made a 35-6 win-loss record at home-the best in the league.

But when it comes to cricket, however, the concept of household benefits gets slightly tarnished.
Certainly, India had an 18 consecutive Test series victory at home, a run that began in 2013 and was shattered by New Zealand last year. During the tricks leaving that jaw, India won 42 matches, lost four and attracted six. In Blue, men also hold records for the longest home line in T20Is, which are unbeaten 17 series since 2019.

There are some factors tipping the scale towards the domestic side in international cricket: familiarity with stadiums and situations; Pitch’s knowledge and ability to direct things; The ability to live with friends/family instead of hotels and finals, but not at least, support an emotional crowd.
But these factors do not necessarily have when this franchise comes to the Indian Premier League (IPL) like T20 League. Most of these factors are disabled, with local, Indian and international players who make squad.

This year, however, there is a year to forget CSK – in general and at home. On 25 April, when he moved to Sunrisers Hyderabad, this MA was responsible for his fifth defeat at Chidambaram Stadium. They have never lost at home in the same season.
After his slapping against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 28 March, coach Stephen Fleming argued that he was not getting any ‘home benefit’.

“Okay, as we have been telling you for many years, there was no benefit of the house in Chepack. We have not been able to read wickets here in the last few years. Therefore, this is not new. We are trying to catch every day that we get, and we don’t know.”
The grip with the surface of the house is not new and the flaming was definitely not the only voice that had criticism for the curator. Ajinkya Rahane, Zaheer Khan and Chandrakant Pandit all questioned the lack of support for domestic teams from the curator. Cricketer-turn-commentator Simon Dolal went to the extent to suggest that defending champion KKR should go away Garden of Eden If the curator does not pay attention.
KKR’s home record has not been very good in this season. He has played five in the Eden Gardens, lost three to three, which has received one rain. There are two domestic matches remaining, and there is a possibility on the IPL playoff line, they will expect a turn against Rajasthan Royals starting on Sunday.

Rules, however, do not allow the franchise to determine the surface position. As franchises take the ground on a loan only from the BCCI, they have no to say how the surface should be prepared.
“A BCCI curator is not accountable to any franchise. There is no clear guideline from BCCI,” a source close to the ground told Timesophindia.com. “There has been no meeting of curator for a long time (time).
“Franchise (s) loves to blame the curator. Instead of blaming the curator, they should look at the quality of cricket they are playing.

“Franchisees play at a certain site for two months, but forget that a BCCI tournament (different age-groups) are happening throughout the year. If not BCCI, State Association does not play its league, operate camps and other items.
“Curator is following the guidelines that have been done by the former BCCI chief curator Daljit Singh three decades ago …”, the source said.

Gujarat’s Titans Coo Colonel Arvinder Singh questioned the point of discussion around the surfaces when rules and crystals are clear.
“The rules of the game are very clear and they are common for everyone. Any franchise has no right to say, ‘I want such a pitch’. It’s not something that the rules allow you to do,” he said. Timesofindia.com,
“The advantage of the house arises from the fact that this is your home. You are going to know the conditions that are better than someone else because you play most of your games, where you practice. So from that perspective, if you are looking at the benefit of a house, then not, why not? You are worth the benefits of the house.

He said, “To say that I need home benefits because I want this kind of pitch. Sorry, I don’t think it cuts any snow with anyone,” he said.
Then there are question marks on the morality of the game if the surfaces are slanting towards a certain team or some style of the game.
