‘Petrol nahi tha’: Navjot Singh Sidhu reveals super-sopper conked off during USA vs Ireland washout in Florida because it ran out of petrol – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Florida's unpredictable weather has been a significant concern for teams and players in the T20 World Cup over the past few days. Continuous rain has led to numerous ground inspections and ultimately resulted in back-to-back washouts.
