Don’t Know How People Will React- Virat Kohli:

“It’s very likely, it could happen, I really don’t know how everyone takes it because we are all used to playing in front of all these enthusiastic people, I know it will play with very great intensity, but the crowd feeling associated with players and the excitement of the game when everybody is in the stadium. The encouragement and emotions are very difficult to create,” Kohli said.
