Speaking on the momentous occasion Mohammed Kaif and Robin Uthappa, who was present at the press conference in St. Regis spoke about the Indian Masters T10 with immense delight. Mohammed Kaif, said, "I have commentated on the Abu Dhabi T10, and always wanted to play in it because it is such an exciting format, finally I have got the chance and I cannot wait to step out on the pitch for it. Since it is such a fast-paced format, it becomes a game of skill and power, not fitness which is especially suited to former cricketers like us. The approach of each player is also to go all guns blazing from the first ball itself, so expect a lot of sixes, wickets and stunning catches throughout the tournament, which will get fans off their seats." "I think when legends of the game come together and play it brings back a lot of memories and makes you nostalgic, which I really enjoy and it's always nice for me. To be able to be a part of this Indian Masters T10 League, I think is actually a pleasure and the fact, that I get to play with a lot of my teammates throughout my career to actually interact with them again and go back into that mindset of competing together would be absolutely the best. I am very excited as well for the Indian Masters T10, I honestly cannot wait", said Robin Uthappa while adding to Kaif's sentiment. (ANI)
