In an exclusive chat with Taruka Srivastava on Sportskeeda’s Facebook page, Vivek Sethia discussed how sports have slowly resumed after the COVID-19 break. The fans have returned to the stadiums in Australia and the United Kingdom, but the situation is not the same in India.
When asked about his view on how the situation of Indian sports could improve, Vivek Sethia replied:
ISL 2020-21 is currently underway in India, with Goa hosting the entire competition. Talking about the Indian football tournament, Vivek continued:
Lastly, Sethia pointed out that most of the sporting leagues in India generated only around 1% revenue from ticketing. Hence, it was better to conduct tournaments with no fans instead of a complete sports lockdown in his view.
IPL 2020 happened in the United Arab Emirates behind closed doors
While IPL 2021 is still a few months away, the cricket universe enjoyed the 13th IPL season in the UAE. Three venues hosted the entire competition with no COVID cases in the bio-bubble.
The BCCI is aiming to stage IPL 2021 in India. It will be interesting to see which stadiums get the hosting rights and if the fans will be allowed inside the stadiums.
