In this work we explore the characteristics of a polytropic solution for the anisotropic stellar object within the framework of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) gravity. We introduce anisotropy via the minimally gravitational decoupling method. The analysis of the exact solution of the governing equation for the gravitational potentials reveals novel features of the compact object. We find that the EGB coupling constant and the decoupling parameter play important roles in enhancing and suppressing the effective density and radial profiles at each interior point of the bounded object. An analysis of the effective tangential pressure reveals a ‘changeover’ in the trends brought about by the EGB and decoupling constants which may be linked to the cracking observed in classical 4D stellar objects proposed by Herrera (Phys Lett A 165:206, 1992).
