Additionally, Sourav Ganguly says that right now the world is at a standstill. Therefore, in a situation like this sports events like IPL 2020 do not take precedent over normal living conditions.

In my 46 years of life, I never experienced anything like this. Not just that, the world has never seen anything like this. And I hope nobody sees this situation again. The entire world is thinking how many people may die in the next two weeks! It’s unbelievable.”

Furthermore, he adds that even his normal life is not the same. Previously he did not stay at home but instead he was always working for the BCCI and ICC. Right now, his daily routine includes working from home, working out at his home gym, and spending time with his family.

“Locked down like everyone else, I am at home with family. These are rare moments in the sense that others normally stay at home. I don’t. That has changed. I’m doing some BCCI and ICC work. I rest, watch a bit of TV, do a bit of fitness training at the gym I have at home.”
