Someone important recently told me to celebrate achievements and landmarks, no matter how small or big. After more than 16 years and innumerous games as a spectator at the Eden Gardens, today marks my first one as a journalist. Grateful to everyone who's been part of the journey.

Gautam Gambhir: "This is exactly the pitch we were looking for. The curator was very, very supportive."


Only fair that it was his catch off Axar that effectively sealed the game for South Africa

Temba Bavuma gets a rousing ovation, having just played the best knock of the game



Some people leaving the stadium


That was reminiscent of Kohli's dismissal in the 2014 Adelaide chase


India use the light roller ahead of their chase

Highest successful run-chase at the Eden Gardens is 117 India would need to break the record if they are to win

Official spectator count after Tea on Day 2 at Eden Gardens: 41,765 When was the last time a Test in India had this many people at the ground?


Pant jerseys have been very few, yes, but the number of Gill jerseys has been significantly lesser than the Big Three. Also, much bigger cheer for Pant as he walked in, just five minutes after Gill.

In #EdenGardens today majority was wearing the legend #ViratKohli’s jersey and the second popular was the legend in making #ShubmanGill. Though were are a few #RohitSharma fans and one or two #Dhoni and #KLRahul’s, I have not seen a single fan wearing #RishabhPant



Very unfortunate for Gill. Looked very uneasy as he walked off, couldn't move his head at all


Shubman Gill walking off third ball due to a neck strain!


Only just realised that this is the first time India have more left-handed batters than right-handed batters in a Test XI
