Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has expressed his disappointment over the absence of spectators in Virat Kohli’s 100th Test. He has said that the absence of spectators in Virat’s hundredth Test is disappointing, but this decision has been taken in the interest of all. Kohli will play his 100th Test in the Test series against Sri Lanka. In this match to be held in Mohali, spectators have not been allowed to enter the field. This decision has been taken in view of the cases of corona in Mohali. Corona cases have increased here in the last few days.
Virat’s fans hope that in this match to be held on March 5, Virat will end the drought of centuries that has been going on for two years. RP Singhla, treasurer of the Punjab Cricket Association, has told that spectators will not be allowed in the Test match to be held in Mohali.
Decision taken in the interest of all
Sunil Gavaskar told Sports Today, “Whenever you play a match, you want the audience to be there. India has played without an audience for some time now. Be it an actor or a cricketer, it is always in front of the audience. Wants to play. 100th Test is very special. It is disappointing to have no spectators in it, but this decision has been taken in the interest of everyone. Corona cases have increased in Mohali, where this match is to be played.”
The spectators had reached the ground in Dharamsala
The cases of corona in the country are very less and in the last few matches spectators were allowed to enter the field. All three matches of the ODI series against West Indies were held in Ahmedabad and spectators were not allowed, but all three matches of the T20 series were held in Kolkata. In the last match of the series, some spectators had reached the Eden Gardens. After this, in the second and third T20 against Sri Lanka, the spectators also reached the ground in Dharamsala. The second match of the Test series will be held in Bangalore, where 50 percent of the stadium’s capacity will be able to attract spectators.
