IPL 2021: 'Bio-bubble was good only at the start', players recall how it changed after coronavirus came knocking

Firstpost  

IPL 2021 was forced to suspend proceedings indefinitely on Tuesday after four players and two coaches tested positive for COVID-19. New Delhi: There was undeniable fear once COVID-19 found its way into IPL’s bio-bubble, some Indian players who participated in the recently-suspended T20 league have revealed with a couple of them also asserting that it wasn’t as “tight” as it was last year. The world’s biggest T20 league was forced to suspend proceedings indefinitely on Tuesday after four players and two coaches tested positive for COVID-19. “The foreign players were professional throughout, they were just worried about how they would get home.” Cricketer-turned-commentator Deep Dasgupta refused to call the IPL bubble porous but did admit to having anxieties of his own once cases began to rise in Delhi.
