Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar reckons that some countries, "especially England" are jealous of the Indian Premier League which he called a "world class product".

In his fortnightly column which appeared in mid-day on Tuesday, Gavaskar called it the J virus. "Thankfully, it [J virus] is seasonal, starting just before the IPL and ending a couple of weeks after it. It's a virus that is peculiar to Indians but also affects some other countries too, especially England and of course, our western neighbours, who, in any case suffer from the J virus about India 24 hours a day, every day of their lives and have been doing so for over 70 years," Gavaskar wrote.
