However, it is not yet clear whether India is participating in the tournament or not?

So amidst these discussions, a big statement of former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif has come out. Latif says that the world of cricket depends on the India-Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) match and irrespective of the venue, both the countries will definitely play against each other.

Look, both the teams will definitely play, I don’t know where, but both the teams will definitely play against each other. There are a lot of things at stake. Broadcasters have a lot at stake. 3 billion are at stake. So, there is no way they would say that it is not good for India and Pakistan to play against each other. Latif further said- I think Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will also somehow agree and come to a conclusion about where to play and what to do. This is because the world of cricket depends on it. The world of cricket depends on India-Pakistan match. According to my opinion it is going to happen, but I don’t know when, but PCB, ICC and BCCI will definitely plan something. Some people may fool the fans, but they will definitely play.

The 27-year-old had a good start to his captaincy tenure as Chennai began the tournament with four wins out of the first six matches. However, the team failed to maintain the momentum and missed out on a playoff berth after losing their last match against RCB. Despite failing to take his team to the playoffs in his first stint as captain, Gaikwad has learned a lot as he now wants to bat with responsibility and finish the game on his own. He feels he is now more involved in the game than before. Let’s find out what he said- “Nothing much has changed really, batting has remained the same. It is all about playing with responsibility and finishing it on your own, so nothing has changed. It just depends on how you approach the game each time. You have captained an IPL franchise for a long time, so now you are more involved in the game. So, you stay in the game for a longer period of time rather than just hitting boundaries and focusing on one ball.”
