There is no dearth of cricket talent in India. Kolkata is one such city that has produced several world-class players, who have gone on to play at the highest level. Apart from being the hometown of ‘Dada’ (Sourav Ganguly), Kolkata is also the home of the oldest and the second-largest cricket stadium in India, the Eden Gardens. Though Kolkata is often divided by football, due to the ‘Mohan Bagan’ and ‘East Bengal’ rivalry, the city is united by their collective fandom of cricket. There are thousands of budding cricketers who are sweating it out in the ‘Maidans’ every morning, in order to fulfil their dreams of representing India at the highest level. Keeping that in mind, here is a list of the top 5 cricket academies in Kolkata:
