‘Whosoever makes money, be it a company or individual, he is seen with suspicion’, Arun Dhumal on workload management

IPL 2023 is in its second week and already the top stars have given stunning performances. The IPL will continue till the end of May and from June 7. In a recent interaction, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal was asked “Put yourself in the shoes of the IPL owners. They have paid money and are within their rights to get the best out of the players. Is it fair to ask the IPL owners to manage the workload of top Indian players?”

Arun Dhumal gave a detailed reply –

“The problem in our country is that whosoever makes money, be it a company or individual, he is seen with suspicion. Virat Kohli has been playing IPL for so many years, he’s never been injured. Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami never got injured.”

Arun added – “Does it have anything to do with the IPL? At the same time, you have Raj Angad Bawa getting injured. He’s played IPL. Shreyas Iyer got injured but not because of the IPL.”

Arun further said – “Just because they make money through IPL, we start blaming IPL for anything and everything. Injuries are an integral part of any sport. Our badminton stars are getting injured. They don’t play in the IPL.”

Arun Dhumal further added –

“There are so many stars who are coming from overseas and playing in the IPL. They have not given an excuse that IPL is responsible for their injury. So we have to get out of this mindset. They need to improve their fitness levels.”
