Mavi went to state that he cannot play with Jonathan as they don't have the same connection as they used to have a long time back. He then tried to recall the PMIS days when he and Jonathan used to be "very good friends." However, according to the BGMI star, they took separate paths after the tournament.
Mavi also added (translated from Hindi):
"Firstly, we don't have regular contact where I can call him and ask him to play with me. We don't have that close contact now like it used to be long back. We were very good friends back then. I can't recall the exact tournament, it was probably the PMIS in Hyderabad, after which we took separate paths."
Players are engaging in ongoing BGMI scrims and millions of enthusiasts are closely following these matches. However, the game stays suspended in the country. It remains to be seen when it will make its comeback to the gaming market.
