What I would like to happen is, these are the remaining few matches. I think we have played around 60 games or so. I think it is the remaining 15 or 16 games. I would genuinely. Due to what has occurred and some families having lost their near and dear ones, I would want all the show-sha baji that accompanies it to not exist. Just the game to be played.
There can be a crowd but no music. No music to be blasted in the middle of an over. None of that,” said Gavaskar to Sports Today. Let’s just have a tournament, the equilibrium of a tournament. No dancing girls, nothing. Just cricket would be a very good way to pay obeisance to the feeling of the families who have lost their near and dear ones.”
