Meanwhile, earlier Rajasthan Royals’ fast bowler Andrew Tye decided to go back to Australia amid the second wave of Covid-19 in India. Tye wanted to be home with his family as he was afraid that he could be locked out of the country. Moreover, Liam Livingstone has also flown back home due to bubble fatigue.
Furthermore, Delhi Capitals spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has decided to pull out of the tournament amid the rising tensions. Ashwin stated that he wants to support his family in the testing times like these and he will return to Delhi Capitals if the situation improves.
On the other hand, Kane Richardson played a solitary match for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The right-arm fast bowler scalped a wicket and conceded 29 runs in the three overs he bowled. Meanwhile, Adam Zampa didn’t feature in any of the five matches the franchise has played thus far.
