After the KKR vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) clash, at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium Ahmedabad on Monday evening, Eoin Morgan also pointed out at the post-match presentation, “It’s challenging (bio-bubble life). Things have to be managed, the players, the coaching staff within the group. When you consider the absolute horrific nature of what’s happening outside our bubble, we try and lend our encouragement to everything that’s going on not only in India but around the world.”
KKR captain added, “If you’re going outside, wear a mask, keep social distance. These are tough times for the world. Having seen it first hand at home, how devastating it can be, on behalf of KKR, we wish everybody who is ill well. But ultimately if we stick together, we can beat this thing.”
