Following Darren Sammy’s claims of racism in the 2013-14 IPL season, Twitter has opened pandora’s box by posting an old image of Ishant Sharma during his time with the Sunrisers Hyderabad where he called his then-teammate ‘Kalu.’ On the other hand, Pathan denied racism happening in IPL.

Faf du Plessis is of the opinion that both the Indian Premier League and the T20 World Cup in Australia could go ahead in the same year with some alteration in the calendar. Faf also believes that cricket should be resumed with a short two-match series or the IPL, but not with a long series.

Shreyas Iyer has stated that he chose to take over the underdog team as taking them to a title would help people look at the Mumbaikar from a different perspective. He also added that Virat Kohli’s captaincy keeps the team motivated and provides a lot of energy to the players, keeping them pumped.
