Playing by New Rules
Playing by new rules India's Media & Entertainment sector reboots in 2020 March 2021 Images credit: Ramji Ravi Conceptual Pictures Worldwide Pvt Ltd./ Adobebstock For stock images & footage license : www.imagefootage.com We played by new rules. And we played to win. 2020 was a challenging year for India. And for sports as well. We all learnt to live differently: wearing a mask, maintaining a distance of six feet, sanitising frequently, boosting our immunity. Playing a team sport, we lived in secure bio-bubbles and lived through quarantines. The silence in the stadiums was the worst thing one could hear. When the going got tough in Australia, it was important to stay positive and continue to play our brand of cricket and let each individual express themselves. Situations were tough but heroes emerged when the time demanded. We played to win and did not let the fear of losing overpower us. Ajinkya Rahane The Indian Media & Entertainment industry kept providing news, information and entertainment content to Indians when they most needed it without letting fear affect them. The virus could not take away the record viewership of IPL Season 13 nor the growing popularity of esports. It could not stop our sportspersons from making a mark in tennis, hockey, wrestling, boxing, and several other sports. They all reminded us that it is important to play the game in the right spirit without worrying about the consequences. I'm happy that we got an opportunity to play during these tough times and bring happiness to millions of viewers watching the sport.
