AI explanation
Eden Gardens, Kolkata's iconic cricket stadium, carries the official/formal designation "Ranji Stadium" in honor of Ranjitsinhji, the legendary Indian-born cricketer who played for England — a lesser-known trivia fact behind the more commonly used popular name "Eden Gardens" (itself derived from the adjoining Eden Gardens park, named after the Eden sisters). Chinnaswamy Stadium is in Bangalore, Chidambaram Stadium is in Chennai, and Wankhede Stadium is in Mumbai — each a distinct ground with no connection to Eden Gardens. Ranji Stadium being the official name of the Kolkata ground is the correct, if lesser-known, answer.
