Virat Kohli says cricketers are suffering after months of bio-secure "bubble" life during the coronavirus pandemic as they head into the high-stress environment of the Indian Premier League. Kohli, one of the game`s most disciplined captains, raised his concerns after his India side edged England by seven runs in a thrilling decider to clinch the one-day series 2-1 in Pune on Sunday.
Players from both sides moved on immediately to join their squads for the world`s richest franchise Twenty20 tournament, which starts on April 9, and all will have to go through restrictions again in the IPL "bubble". "Scheduling needs to be looked at in future, because playing in `bubbles` for so long, two to three months, is going to be very, very difficult going forward," Kohli said.
