‘It’s difficult to recreate emotions without fans’
India captain Virat Kohli acknowledged that there is a possibility of sport resuming without fans at stadiums but said it will be difficult to recreate the magical moments without supporters.
"It's quite a possible situation, it might happen, I honestly don't know how everyone is going to take that because we all are used to playing in front of so many passionate fans," Kohli said.
"I know it will be played at a very good intensity but that feeling of the crowd connecting with the players and the tension of the game where everyone goes through it in the stadium, those emotions are very difficult to recreate," he added.
Kolhli said the many moments which are created because of the passion brought in by fans would be missing.
"Things will still go on, but I doubt that one will feel that magic happening inside because of the atmosphere that was created. We will play sports how it is supposed to be played, but those magical moments will be difficult to come by," he said.
Ben Stokes, Jason Roy and Pat Cummins have backed the idea of playing behind closed doors. However, Allan Border has said it would defy belief to host a World Cup without spectators.
