The Indian cricketers have been in bio-bubble for a long time. They got a mini-break after the Australia tour, but that wasn't enough considering they are shifting from one bubble to another since the Indian Premier League 2020.

India's head coach Ravi Shastri also spoke about being in the bio-bubble for a long time. He said it's time for the secure bubble to burst.

"Six months in the bubble, seeing the same faces day in day out, it is time for the bubble to burst (smiles). I know it's still three weeks to go but the bubble will burst," he said.

However, Ashwin saw the positive side of the bio-bubble and said it has strengthened the bonding between the players. "This is one of the series where I was fortunate enough to stay in the moment a lot. It is one of the happiest phases of my career, I am just enjoying it. Bio-bubbles I have also managed to enjoy. I never thought I would be able to spend this much time with every teammate of mine. 

"Sometimes when you are going through situations, for me, to know some of these teammates was not possible for me before this bio-bubble because you are constantly in the phase of trying to get the right result. I am able to cherish the moments now and I am able to know the players I am sharing the space with. It's basically the joy that is being expressed out there."
