Bigg Brother Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Was never a fan of bubble, Bio-bubbles arent viable option for such a long tournament with a team having 50+ members if one includes family members. At best should have confined to South Side hosting matches at Chennai, Kerala, Banglore and Hyderabad. And should have organised only one leg of every team playing against each other for one time before going into playofffs Or could have grouped them into 2 groups of 4 teams and directly playing SF-Final. BCCI's greed is never ending, hosting matches at Delhi-Ahmedabad was always going to be difficult. And this idea of testing everyone in KKR Camp till 6th is another bad move.Dont they have Doctors/Health personnel in IPL managing /advising committee?

I believe they have the best quarantine programme...they can quarantine and test them till they are satisfied. So why such draconian measures?

Franco Vazquez Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 BCCI is trying their best to suppress COVID cases. They are saying cases in CSK camp are false positives but CSK is saying its actually positive and according to Vikrant Gupta, there is another franchise in Ahmedabad (other than KKR) which has positive cases.

Maldives is a safer option. Spend the time he is required to spend there as per Aus govt rules. Likely to see a similar exodus if BCCI doesn't communicate transparently with the stakeholders.

What happens if their citizen's visa in another country expires? Why should the other country keep them if their own country is not accepting them. Citizens should never be banned from entering their own country. Surely, they could have done a better job at quarantining people entering their own country.

So Not so fast my friend. We take top two teams at mid-way point (DC and CSK) as the final match and champion is decided by head-to-head match-up. Thus congratulations to Vivo IPL 2021 champions QED.

Straight Drive Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Are they waiting for someone to die. Should call off given that players and franchisee management are not following protocols. These cricketers are moslty below 30. They may not understand the seriousness of breaching the protocol and catching virus or passing it too others, but atleast the BCCI board members who are elder ones should show some sense.

Gollum Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Information from Boria Majumdar on Sports Tak: There was no breach of bubble by Varun Chakravarthy or Sandeep Warrier. His visit to hospital was well within the guidelines, with all protocols followed. He was in hospital for only around five minutes, and the staff that attended him were asymptomatic and vaccinated. KKR players are currently in hard quarantine. Varun and Warrier will be in quarantine for at least 10 days. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
