Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reacted to the Indian Premier League (video)
(IPL) being shifted out of India. Tendulkar, who is also the skipper of the Mumbai Indians, said that the cash-rich tournament could have been played in India.
"Obviously Indian public would have liked to have IPL matches played in India but due to certain circumstances its difficult I know. I am sure the authorities must have tried but it’s not workable. You have no other choice," said Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar went on to add that the IPL organisers will not be able to duplicate the similar atmosphere that the frenzy created last year, anywhere in the world apart from India. "Yeah its obviously going to be different because in India we used to have home and away matches," added Tendulkar.
The batting maestro went on to say that, now that there are talks of hosting the tournament in South Africa or England, all matches will be away from home. He said, "Right now looking at the itinerary whether it’s going to be in South Africa or England everything will be an away game for us. You don't know which is a home or an away game," said Tendulkar.
However, pointing out a positive in shifting the IPL matches, Sachin said that Indian cricket fans outside the country will be in huge numbers.
"Its always fantastic to have Indian fans away from country, we always appreciate it. Nowadays virtually wherever we go we have a lot of Indian supporters cheering us, it is a big strength and support for us," added the batting maestro.
