Sunil Gavaskar suggests no musical activity for remaining IPL 2025
The updated schedule of the IPL 2025 is out, and the remaining matches will kick off from May 17. The ongoing season was paused following the border conflict between India and Pakistan. The IPL 2025 will resume with the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
With the resumption of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, former Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar has proposed the idea of not using any music and DJs during the matches following the current situation and the loss of lives due to it.
Speaking to Sports Today, Sunil Gavaskar said, "What I would really like to see is. These are the last few matches we have had, about 60 games or thereabouts. I think it is the last 15 or 16 games. I would sincerely hope, because of what has happened and some families have lost their near and dear ones, I would like that there is no music. Let's not have the DJs screaming in the middle of an over."
Sunny G further stated, "None of that. Let the games be played. Let the crowds come in. Let's just have a tournament, the balance of a tournament. It's just no dancing girls, nothing. Just cricket would be a really nice way to respect the sentiment of the families who have lost their near and dear ones.
"The tournament was rightly suspended": Sunil Gavaskar
The former legend further backed the decision to suspend the tournament. He mentioned that there was no need to continue with the sporting activity at the time when the country was going through tough times.
"The suspension happened suddenly and quite correctly, too, because at that stage, with hostilities, there was no place for sport. But now that there is a ceasefire, I think the tournament will resume,” Gavaskar said.
