Quinton De Kock Says Mumbai Indians Feel "Very Safe" Inside Bio-Secure Bubble
After his side’s win, Mumbai Indians’ senior player Quinton de Kock said on Thursday his team feels ‘very safe’ inside the IPL bio-secure bubble, two days after leg-spinner Adam Zampatermed it as one of the ‘most vulnerable’ before taking a flight back to Australia. De Kock commented after having won the match against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday in Delhi, “To be honest, we trust in our doctors.So we are pretty safe in our bubbles.”
The South African batsman added, “We still take precautions and after taking it regularly following doctor’s advice I feel safe. I don't know about other guys. I am speaking for myself. It is being easy to get on with the game and practice and everything," the South African added.
A day after deciding to quit the league midway citing personal reasons, Zampa, who has a contract with Royal Challengers Bangalore, had said the bio-bubble put in place for the ongoing T20 event was the "most vulnerable" he has been a part of while also suggesting that it should have been held in UAE, like last year. But de Kock thought otherwise.
In the match, Rajasthan posted 171/4 but it was overshadowed by de Kock's blistering 70, as the defending champions completed the task in 18.3 overs. De Kock, on his part, said that it was a 'lot easier to bat on the 'Kotla' track after the struggles in Chennai.
