How is the mood of the Eden Gardens pitch?

If we talk about the pitch of the historic Eden Gardens, then both batsmen and bowlers have been getting help here. Fast bowlers can prove to be effective here at the beginning of the innings. At the same time, spinners can also be effective in the middle time. In the second innings, dew may help the batsmen and bowlers may find it difficult to grip the ball. The same was seen in Guwahati as well. In that context also the role of toss becomes important. Talking about the last few years, the Eden Gardens pitch has been useful for the batsmen. India has made a score of more than 400 here as well.
