When asked how it would feel to be playing in front of empty stadiums if IPL is allowed behind closed doors, the Mumbai hitter said he would have to remember the time when he grew up and used to play without being watched by any spectator. .
“I hope everyone is safe and follows the guidelines so that we can eventually get out there and start doing what we love to do.”
“It will be a bit strange to play in empty stadiums. I don’t know how the fans will take it. As a child, I have to go back a long way and think about how I started playing cricket without anyone looking at me. I did not have the luxury of playing in these luxurious Stadiums, I think life will come back to that. Whatever rule comes up on the board, we should follow that and try to play some kind of cricket. People will be able to watch us on TV. At least there is something to look forward to. ” Rohit said.
There has also been speculation regarding organizing the Indian Premier League in a single city or in a couple of them to avoid movement and more risks for players during the pandemic. Rohit said we should all wait for government guidelines before reaching a conclusion regarding the IPL.
“Yes, once they open the stadium, they open the games for us to play, only then will we know how it will be planned. From what I deduce is that less movement and staying in a particular area is very important. Regardless of the city or the country in which tournaments are held, must take all necessary precautions and all necessary steps to avoid this virus.
“I’m not really sure how long it’s going to take for it to completely disappear. All the necessary steps have to be taken. All the rules have to be followed. Just like in an ICC tournament, there will be rules for anti-everything and all that. So, we have to keep it.
“In my opinion, there will be guidelines going forward every time we play on how to control movements around the hotel, around the city. I don’t think we can go out freely if we are allowed to travel abroad. All of those will take the necessary steps,” Rohit added.
