New Delhi: All-rounder Hardik Pandya said that he would be okay with the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League being played behind closed doors.
The season has been postponed after the Indian government extended the lockdown in the country to May 3. “It will be different. We are used to playing in front of them as the feeling of competition comes with the crowd,” said Pandya in an Instagram live chat with Dinesh Karthik. Pandya said that he has an idea of how it would feel like, having played in the Ranji Trophy which often struggles to have any crowds at all in the stadium.”I’ve played in the Ranji Trophy without crowds, and it feels different. To be honest, if that [IPL behind closed doors] happens, it will be a smarter option. At least people will be entertained at home,” he said. Earlier BCCI President Sourav Ganguly admitted that he does not see any cricket being played in India in the near future. (IANS)
