Sunil Gavaskar's Blunt Take On Security Drill Amid India-Pakistan Tensions: "Feeling..."

The relations between India and Pakistan have taken a turn for the worse following the terror attack in Pahalgam. The rising political tensions have once again put the cricketing relations between the two countries under the scanner and it is not clear at the moment if they will play each other in international competitions. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series in nearly a decade and a number of former India cricketers have also insisted on a complete boycott following the attacks. The Ministry Of Home Affairs (MHA) has recently directed state governments to conduct drills in order to be ready for any kind of attacks. However, former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar believes that the drills will have no impact on the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and added that there is no need to worry at all.
