Cricketer-turned-commentator Deep Dasgupta said that he felt completely safe inside the IPL 2021 bio-bubble but rising cases in the country made him worried about his family.
India is undergoing a severe health crisis at the moment with the second wave of COVID-19 wreaking havoc across the country.
With coronavirus entering the bio-bubbles of IPL 14, BCCI decided to adjourn IPL after 29 games. Several players along with support staff testing positive forced the governing body to suspend the marquee tournament.
Cricketer-turned-commentator Deep Dasgupta, who was also part of bio-bubble, admitted that even though he felt safe inside the bubble but the rising cases across the country made him worried about his family living in Kolkata and Noida.
“I wouldn't say bio bubble created this time was porous compared to last time in UAE. We were well taken care of and I felt secure. However, as the cases started rising in Delhi, I was a bit wary. Once you saw how people were suffering, it was disturbing.
“Also I was tense as my parents still live in Noida. So, I was always thinking about them. Once cases started rising in Kolkata, then it was my wife and kids that I was thinking about. But they would tell me that you take care, we are just doing fine,” Deep Dasgupta told PTI.
With 31 games still remaining, BCCI is considering the September window to host the remaining part of IPL 14.
