New guy Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Well they are already in a bubbles so unless cases reach inside no point in canceling. If IPL was about to start now, yea it would have been canceled or moved to Dubai AuxiliA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The players, especially the overseas ones, must be at breaking point. But their safety and mental well being was never the highest priority. $$$ is the numero uno priority. Indwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players like south africans are way safer inside the bubble than even back home so dont understand where this sentiment is coming from. If the bubble was breached or rules were lax, I would understand, but today a bio secure bubble is among the safest places on earth beetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bubble was breached or rules were lax, I would understand, but today a bio secure bubble is among the safest places on earth The bubble is safe but focusing on cricket while hearing reports of mounting case numbers, deaths, shortage of oxygen, patients dying outside hospital doors for lack of capacity, etc could be very stressful. MSD's parents are in hospital with Covid and he has decided to stay back in the IPL, at-least for the time being. So far only one player has walked out due to the stress, so evidently the situation is not a deal breaker yet for the players. Let's see if they keep the show going on for a few weeks more.

rageaddict Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yeah let's just cancel one thing that we look forward to these days in the evenings and go in a state of National Mourning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuxiliA Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I don't see a problem if they maintain a strict bubble, which they seem to be doing till now. You cannot shut down everything. The money that IPL generates cannot be discounted, especially when the economy is in crisis. Also, people need some entertainment in these stressful times.

vijaydude Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 It looks sadistic to have a circus going on, but the circus being stopped isn't going to provide Oxygen to those dying. Let it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Bradley Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If India was a Titanic, then IPL players are the musicians who were playing music while the ship was sinking, thus IPL players are the Cellist, the Bassist and the Violinist of the Indian Titanic.
