Sachin Tendulkar, Abhinav Bindra, Mary Kom, Sardar Singh predict post-Coronavirus sports world

Firstpost  

India’s biggest sportspersons - current and former - gazed into the crystal ball and predicted the future of sports once the action resumes. I believe once a vaccine is developed, things can go back to how they were before but until then, travelling will be less frequent, training will not exactly be a team thing and tournaments, I don’t know how they will resume. VIJENDER SINGH I don’t think it would be all that easy to bring back the fans, it shouldn’t be because I believe people should be wary but India is an unpredictable country, kuch bhi ho sakta hai yahan. Athletes will be more cautious certainly, training abroad won’t be all that easy, less tournaments will happen and whenever they happen, I am not sure what the participation would be like.
