DELHI: Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reacted to the Indian Premier League (IPL) being shifted out of India. Tendulkar, who is also the skipper of the Mumbai Indians, said that the cash-rich tournament could have been played in India.
"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," said Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar went on to add that the IPL organisers will not be able to duplicate the similar atmosphere that the frenzy created last year, anywhere in the world apart from India. "Yeah its obviously going to be different because in India we used to have home and away matches," added Tendulkar.
The batting maestro went on to say that, now that there are talks of hosting the tournament in South Africa or England, all matches will be away from home. He 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," said Tendulkar.
However, pointing out a positive in shifting the IPL matches, Sachin said that Indian cricket fans outside the country will be in huge numbers.
"Its 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
There is only one party who benefits from terrorism and that is BJP. For every terrorist incident, BJP goons claim Congress makes these terrorist incidents possible. BJP and Narendra Modi claim they are tough on terrorism, but did Narendra Modi save the people at Akshardham or the 45 people who died in the blasts in Ahmedabad, how tough was BJP against the hijackers of the Indian Airlines flight.
Dont miss this golden opportunity. After elections, you will regret your decision. Vote for a candidate who focuses on development than on other useless issues.

BJP should admit election commission's right to block Varun Gandhis election candidate due to violate the rules. If not ready to agree go to your Prime Minister candidates home town.

Everybody should give vote for BJP. I think Con. is more dangerous and communal from BJP, because within 5 years ruling, BJP had shown their capability, what they can do for India. Every time cong. played the communal card before election. what they are doing at the time of their rule.
