Mumbai chief selector Raju Kulkarni believes the fame and money that has come from the multi-million dollar Indian Premier League is affecting the mindset of players due to which they are showcasing a different approach while playing for the city. The former India pacer wants the current generation to understand Mumbai’s rich cricketing culture as they embark on the Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign against Sikkim in Alur today.
“There are many advantages of the IPL, but the clear drawback is that it gives them fame and money which is a lethal combination. This, in turn, affects their attitude when they go back to their state/city team on the domestic circuit,” Kulkarni, 61, told mid-day on Tuesday.
