BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has confirmed this.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said, “This year, the IPL started around March 29 (March 28) and ended on May 31. We are just discussing the possibility of rain or the onset of the pre-monsoon season during the last leg of the tournament (i.e., after May 15). On the other hand, the heat is also very intense, which is not good for either the players or the spectators.”
“There is no point in comparing Sachin and Vaibhav,” said Krishnamachari Srikkanth
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a name currently dominating the cricketing world. He has been selected for the Indian national team for the tour of Ireland and England. He is on the verge of becoming the youngest player to play international cricket for India. This record currently belongs to Sachin Tendulkar, who made his India debut at the age of 16 years and 205 days. Vaibhav is currently 15 years old. Many people have started comparing Vaibhav to Sachin.
Now, former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth urged people not to compare Sachin Tendulkar and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He said, “Let’s not compare Sachin and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi now. Let’s end the matter here. Sachin is the God of cricket and I believe this boy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is God’s son. Let it be that way. I don’t believe in comparing two players who have played in different tours. So don’t compare Sachin with anyone. Sachin is Sachin. No one can come close to him. There is no point in comparing Sachin and Vaibhav.”
