“It depends on how quickly the public embraces you. You can say you’ll be loved once you are a regular fixture on the team. But it also depends on how the player conducts himself,” he said, ahead of his team’s second match, against the Rajasthan Royals, in the ambitious mix-and-match IPL venture.
Lending his voice to the demand that the IPL be slipped into the international Cricket season, Sangakkara said, “The players have been echoing their wish for a 45-day window in the international season and I don’t see a problem with it. “It’s about the administrators managing their own interests and also of the players. It shouldn’t come to choosing between international duty and IPL for the players.”
“The domestic players are an important part of the IPL. As the team combinations on the field change, they will emerge as important assets where they can show their franchise what they can do,” he said.
