Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane was once again visibly disappointed with the nature of the Eden Gardens pitch and lamented over lack of help for spinners after the team's second loss at home.

However, the seasoned campaigner chose his words carefully when the contentious topic of 'home advantage' was brought up, saying any comment from him could trigger a 'bawal' (controversy).

'Firstly, there was no help for the spinners, let me clear that. They used the boundary really well, you know, bowling to the longer end, I mean longer boundary, they did that really well, our bowlers tried as well, but again, (Nicholas) Pooran and Mitchell Marsh batted really well in between, they took their chances which came off really well for them,' Rahane said following the match.

'It was a lovely wicket, we all saw that, scoring almost 500 runs on this track, hard for the bowlers, but again, they used the conditions and used the boundary really well,' Rahane added.

While the LSG spin duo of Digvesh Singh and Ravi Bishnoi went for 80 runs from their eight overs combined but managed to pick two crucial wickets, their KKR counterparts, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy returned wicketless, conceding over nine runs per over.

'See, there's been enough talk about the wicket. Aap logon ne bahut usko yeh kar diya hai. Toh agar main abhi kuch bolunga na, toh bawal ho jayega. (You people have already hyped it up a lot. So if I say anything now, it will create a big controversy),' Rahane said.

When pressed further, Rahane took a veiled attack on the curator Sujan Mukherjee who had earlier said he does not pay heed to any home team requests.

'Jo hamare curator hai, unko bahut publicity mila. I think he's happy with that publicity. Home advantage ke baare mein aapko jo likhna hai, aap likh sakto, jo laga.

(Our curator has got a lot of publicity. I think he's happy with that publicity. You can write whatever you feel like about the home advantage). If I have any concern, I would probably convey it to the IPL rather than speaking about it here,' Rahane said.
