ISL success will help drive fear of COVID-19 away: Ganguly

Kolkata, Nov 19 (UNI) BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and owner of ATK Mohun Bagan football club believes that a successful Indian Super League (ISL) will help in driving away the "fear" of conducting other big sports events across the country.
"...it's a huge occasion being the first live sport in India (post-lockdown). It's the beginning of something very, very good because life needs to get back to normal. We need to get back to our lives and keep that fear away," Ganguly said on Thursday in an Instagram live session for the ISL's official handle.
"More than people getting affected, it's also the fear which is affecting people. 'I don't want to go there, I don't want to mix among people'. This is unsafe, that is unsafe." "I think a very good ISL season will clear all the cobwebs and doubts in everybody's mind," he added.
