Not only commentary but the former cricketer is also involved in other shows as well. So, the organisers and broadcasters will be definitely keeping a close eye on the development for the safety of everyone involved.
Notably, IPL has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic in the last few seasons, forcing the organisers to make bio-bubbles and hold it in safe venues. The league has returned to its traditional home and away format from this season as things become normal. But, in the last one week, India has had new coronavirus cases.
India logged 3,038 new coronavirus cases, while the active cases increased to 21,179, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Tuesday.
