Hope IPL happens this year: Mohammad Azharuddin
With the IPL being postponed indefinitely due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, cricket in India has come to a standstill. But Mohammad Azharuddin is hopeful that the marquee T20 event will take place at some point this year.
IPL has given India many stars like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, etc. and that is why Mohammad Azharuddin believes that the the tournament held a position of huge importance in Indian cricket.
"I hope the league can eventually get a window where we get to host a minimum of seven matches. The league, whether one likes it or not, has given a lot to the sport in the last 10-12 years. It's a stage where cricketers get a lot of attention if they perform and get recognised quickly. Just think about it, a Hardik Pandya or a Jasprit Bumrah may still have been struggling in first class cricket if the IPL was not there," Mohammad Azharuddin stated.
