During a live Instagram session with Dinesh Karthik, both Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya spoke on several topics on and off cricket. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya have supported the idea of IPL 2020 being played behind closed doors because of coronavirus pandemic.
On being asked by Dinesh Kartik about the fate of this year’s edition of the cash-rich league, Hardik Pandya supported the idea of matches being held without crowds in the stadium. Although he said that the tournament may not have the same spark as previous editions, he stated that it will at least provide some entertainment to the people at home.
He further compared IPL matches without crowds to Ranji Trophy games, which sometimes lack the support of fans in the stadiums. Both brothers acknowledged the fact that it will be the smarter option to go with.
Hardik stated that-
“It will be different. We are used to playing with the crowd as the competition vibe comes with the crowd. I’ve played Ranji Trophy without crowds, and it feels different. To be honest, if that happens, then it will be a smarter option. At least people will be entertained at home.”
