After the first leg match of the Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bangalore, ViratKohli’s missing handshake with SauravGanguly raised all kinds of speculations, but then again, the duo’s handshake after the second leg matches of both teams also made headlines.
Everyone is closely following the IPL 2023—not only the matches but also what happens after the matches. The incident involving ViratKohli, GautamGambhir, and Naveen ulHaq was an example, as their on-field argument got the attention of everyone. Then, after the first leg match of the Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bangalore, ViratKohli’s missing handshake with SauravGanguly raised all kinds of speculations, but then again, the duo’s handshake after the second leg matches of both teams also made headlines.
Former head coach of the Indian Cricket Team, Ravi Shastri, when asked about the attention the camera gives to the cricketers even after the game is over, gave a very insightful answer. Shastri said, “After the sequence of events last week, someone like Kohli, someone like Dhoni…Dhoni knows, he’s a pro, that there is a camera on you, and that is because you guys deserve it after what you guys contributed to the game. There will be one camera on you, like there was on Sachin Tendulkar every time he played the game. Remember, once the game is over, during the game you know it’s there all the time; the camera is on you all the time until you get into that dressing room where the camera cannot enter. You need to be careful about what you do; in fact, it’s like you are being flagged off. If you have that in your mindset, just like bowling or batting, if you have one thing in your mindset—camera—and once the game is over, you will be fine. You can get a lot of brownie points using that camera if you are smart.”
