Which IPL franchise's home ground is Eden Gardens?

Eden Gardens is the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders, the IPL franchise based in Kolkata, West Bengal.

The stadium is operated by the Cricket Association of Bengal and has been associated with the Knight Riders since the IPL began in 2008. It also hosts the Bengal cricket team and major India matches, so it is often described as one of the country’s great cricket venues.

Eden Gardens was established in 1864 and has hosted Tests, One-Day Internationals, T20 internationals and World Cup matches. Its capacity was reduced to about 68,000 after renovations for the 2011 Cricket World Cup.

A common mix-up is confusing a franchise’s home city with every venue it uses. Although Kolkata is the Knight Riders’ regular base, some home matches have occasionally been staged elsewhere, including Ranchi in 2013.
