Virat Kohli on Saturday said players need to use a bio-bubble (bio-secure environment) to refresh themselves from time to time. Timely rest' is needed.
Kohli said that risking the health of players to make up for the lack of cricket due to the pandemic will not benefit the game.
It is important to give players a break from time to time, where they can refresh themselves mentally and adapt to situations where they are ready to compete again.
It is necessary to consider this matter going forward. I understand cricket hasn't happened in the world for a long time, but if you ask a player to take a risk to make up for it, I don't think world cricket will benefit from it.
No one can judge the mental state of a person in a bio-bubble, so it becomes necessary for the team management to talk to the players on the issue.
The players need to be told where they have been placed, what they want. You can't personally tell who is at what level mentally in the Bio-Bubble.
If you see five-six people (players) happy, you cannot determine if all 15-16 people (players) are feeling the same way.
World Cup gives you different motivation being a multination tournament. you have the opportunity to face many sides whom you may not have faced before. So, new Challenges come up that help you keep you focus intact
The good thing is that we have played IPL with eight teams now, every day was a new challenge, you go ahead in the tournament to achieve your goal.
But despite this (stress due to bio-bubble) it is necessary to think about it.
Kohli said this on the event of the match between India vs Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2021 which is held on Sunday 24 October 2021.
