BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is deeply saddened and intimidated by the devastation caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has equated the unprecedented crisis to playing a Test match on a dangerous wicket.
Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic that has claimed over 2.40 lakh lives across the world while infecting more than 34 lakh people.
“This situation is a Test match on a very dangerous wicket. The ball is seaming and spinning as well – the batsman has very little margin of error,” Ganguly said while speaking on ‘100 Hours 100 Stars.
“So, the batsman has to score runs and keep his wicket safe with this little margin of error, and win this Test match, This is very difficult, but we hope that we will win this match together” he added in a statement.
Ganguly expressed his sadness at the number of lives lost in the pandemic and the irreparable damage that it has caused. Most of the people are affected by the virus.
He was really upset because of the current situation and so many people are suffering in this pandemic. “We are still struggling to understand how to stop this pandemic,” he said.
This atmosphere all over the world has really bothered him. “We don’t know how, when and where it came from – we all were unprepared for this,” Ganguly added in a statement.
People are being affected by this so much. There have been so many deaths. This situation upsets him, and he also feels scared because of this COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Number of new cases are rising daily.
He also stated that cricket has taught him to face tough situations in life and the importance of staying alert at all times. There is a need to remain positive for all at this time of crisis.
“If you make one wrong move, one wrong footwork, you will not get another chance. These kind of situations make you alert and aware about real life situations,” he said.
“It’s been a month into the lockdown. I didn’t mind it earlier. Earlier, I wouldn’t get time at home like this. My lifestyle involved travelling for work everyday. For the past 30-32 days, I have been at home with my family, spending time with my wife, daughter, my mother and my brother. I have got a time like this after long, so I am enjoying myself,” he further said.
BCCI chief told that he is spending his time with his family and enjoying with them.
