“It’s not only swallowed up the IPL. It’s swallowed up a lot of South Africans and myself too and to be honest I don’t watch a lot of TV but when the IPL starts I seem to be glued to my seat and my girlfriend said: ‘My TV Broken down, now it’s just cricket and MS the other night, which is what we want to do.”

“You know, I’ve been on the receiving end of it before. I watched it from a fan perspective and I loved it. I mean, I was in a much better mood because of what I just saw. So can we More MS Dhoni in the middle? That would be great,” he further added on Jio Cinema.
