Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Krunal Pandya is undergoing a mandatory quarantine in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) along with the rest of the squad, ahead of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The other IPL sides are similarly under quarantine, with medical tests scheduled on the first, third and sixth day of the phase. Players testing negative on all three occasions will be entering the bio-bubble provided, with an option to start training. However, Pandya has already started preparing for the IPL 2020 in his hotel room, as was evident from the video posted by the player on his official Twitter handle. The 29-year-old can be seen lifting weights and practising freestyle exercises.
“Quarantine won’t stop the work out,” wrote the player.
The all-rounder had recently shared a picture with brother Hardik on social media, where the two can be seen wearing PPE kits, ahead of their UAE flight.
“We’re getting used to our new travel kit. UAE, here we come,” read the caption.
