Kohli had left the Team India bubble on Monday which was even confirmed by a BCCI official. Within two days, he is back into another bubble this time with his IPL teammates for RCB.
“Kohli will be joining RCB’s camp on April 1 in Chennai, then he will undergo quarantine for seven days,” the source confirmed to ANI.
RCB is set to play the IPL 2021 opener against Mumbai Indians on April 9 in Chennai. After India defeated England in the three-match ODI series, Kohli had talked about the challenges of bio-bubble life and he admitted that it would be difficult for players to continue for long in this environment.
As per BCCI’s SOPs for IPL 2021, all players (except for those from the India-England series), support staff, and management entering the bubble need to undergo a seven-day quarantine in their hotel rooms. Every individual will be tested multiple times during this period, and upon returning the negative results, they will be allowed to come out of their rooms and commence outdoor training and practice sessions.
