In a show of solidarity with the sport, Bengaluru FC players, including India legend Sunil Chhetri, have agreed to take pay cuts for the truncated Indian Super League (ISL) season. The decision was announced by club owner Parth Jindal, who praised the footballers for making a "sacrifice" in the best interest of the franchise and Indian football. The delayed ISL, which has been paused for over four months, is set to restart on February 14 in a condensed format. Jindal acknowledged the challenging period Indian football is facing and commended the players for their willingness to adapt. "Everyone is aware of the difficulties the sport is facing," Jindal said. "I'm grateful to the first team players who have agreed to reduce their remuneration during this phase. This was not an easy decision, but it's a testament to their commitment to the club and the sport.
