© news18.comISL success will inspire other sports, drive fear of Covid away: Ganguly
The start of India's football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic has the country's cricket boss Sourav Ganguly excited as he believes a smooth ISL would go a long way in driving away the "fear" of conducting big events across the nation.
Ganguly, who co-owns ATK Mohun Bagan football club, on Thursday hoped that the success of the Indian Super League (ISL) in a bio-bubble in Goa will inspire other sports.
The BCCI president recently oversaw the successful conduct of the IPL in a bio-bubble in the UAE.
"...it's a huge occasion being the first live sport in India (post-lockdown). It's the beginning of something very, very good because life needs to get back to normal. We need to get back to our lives and keep that fear away," Ganguly said in an Instagram live session for the ISL's official handle.
