Mental health in a bio-bubble for IPL stars

How tough it is for IPL-bound players to maintain&nbsp;their mental health&nbsp;in such unprecedented environment?

The Indian Premier League amid the Covid-19 pandemic seemed highly unlikely until UAE&nbsp;approached the BCCI&nbsp;to host the cash-rich league. Cricket was brought to a standstill but UAE&nbsp;government's assurance of a bio-secure bubble with precautions&nbsp;of the highest level, raised hope and the Indian government finally gave IPL&nbsp;a nod. As per the standard operating procedures, it was mandatory for all the players and staff members to undergo a 7-day quarantine which included Covid-19&nbsp;tests on every alternate day before training resumed for all the franchises.
Bite: VIRAT&nbsp;KOHLI, Captain, RCB
'We are all here to play cricket. The bio-bubble needs to be respected at all times for the tournament to happen eventually. We are not here to have fun and roam around and hang out in Dubai. That is not the time we are living in. Accept the phase that we are going through and understand the privilege that we have, just to be a part of the IPL. Everyone should accept that and not behave in a manner which situation doesn't require them to'
But life in quarantine is not just about isolation but also about how well do players manage their mental health.&nbsp;
BITE: RICKY PONTING, Coach, Delhi Capitals
'It's a hard tournament and it's more challenging this year with the protocols and everything in place. But that is what it is and we got to learn to cope with it and enjoy it. we just need to embrace the challenge and get on with it'
Players also faced issues managing their mental health.&nbsp;Complete isolation in a foreign country without a family member made Ravichandran Ashwin frustrated and he called quarantine in UAE the worst time of his life.

R ASHWIN
'I was at home for the last five-six months. But I had people to fall upon. I heavily depended on my mobile phone to pass time, which was making me sick. I couldn't even read the books as my concentration was all over the place.'
((QUOTE GFX&nbsp;CHANGE))
CHAHAL
'Training and living in the bubble is very different but&nbsp;I'm mentally prepared to be in the bubble till the situation all over gets back to normal.'
((QUOTE GFX&nbsp;CHANGE))
SHAMI
'When we came to&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;and got quarantined, those 6 days felt more difficult than the 4 months we quarantined for in India'
((GFX&nbsp;OUT))
Though there won't be much workload issue for the players as&nbsp;despite back to back matches and training, players won't have to travel much since all matches will be played across 3 venues this season. But maintaining discipline in such an unprecedented environment is surely difficult and players'&nbsp;mental health is bound to take a toll.
