IPL should lead by example and sever ties with Chinese sponsors, says KXIP co-owner Ness Wadia Ness wadia News
Ness wadia news Kings XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia on Tuesday called for a gradual end to inviting Chinese sponsorship in the Indian Premier League amid escalating tensions between the two countries after the faceoff in eastern Ladakh earlier this month. “We should do it [sever ties with Chinese sponsors in IPL] for the sake of the nation,” Wadia told PTI. “Country comes first, money is secondary. And it is the Indian Premier League, not the Chinese Premier League. It should lead by example and show the way.” The industrialist added: “Yes, it would be difficult to find sponsors initially but I am sure there are enough Indian sponsors who can replace them. We must have all the respect for the nation, our government and most importantly for the soldiers, who risk their lives for us.”
