India – New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar the Indian Master Batsmen reacted to the Indian Premier League (IPL) being shifted out of India. The Mumbai Indians team skipper Tendulkar, said that the cash-rich tournament could have been played in India.
Tendulkar said "Obviously Indian public would have liked to have IPL matches played in India but due to certain circumstances its difficult I know. I am sure the authorities must have tried but it’s not workable. You have no other choice,". Tendulkar added "Yeah its obviously going to be different because in India we used to have home and away matches."
Sachin said, "Right now looking at the itinerary whether it’s going to be in South Africa or England everything will be an away game for us. You don’t know which is a home or an away game."
Sachin said that Indian cricket fans outside the country will be in huge numbers. He added "It’s always fantastic to have Indian fans away from country, we always appreciate it. Nowadays virtually wherever we go we have a lot of Indian supporters cheering us, it is a big strength and support for us."
