Irfan: Crowd make the game bigger

"Yeah, they would be missed. Crowd chanting sometimes even change the course of the match. They back you and that further motivate you to do better. But at the same time I am also happy that at least the event is happening and Indian fans would be able to watch it on television," said Ace India all-rounder Irfan Pathan.

"I have a good record in South Africa and am happy that the tournament is being played there. It will bring back good memories but at the same time responsibility also increases," he said.

"It’s not decided yet and we can talk about it once it’s finalised though I must say it looks very unique," he said.

"Yes, we are the defending champions and there would be more expectations, but then I don’t think it would add up to the pressure. We played the last season with no pressure and we would do the same this year as well," Yusuf Pathan said.

"Yeah, we might face each other and if he comes on to bowl, I will definitely try to hit him for sixes," he said.
