Indian cricket cannot wait endlessly #IndiaNEWS #Cricket
Preparations for Indias premier cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League (IPL), are underway in full swing. The eight franchise teams seem to be doing a remarkable job as organising and executing the transportation, stay, and travel of their players and support staff must be quite an arduous task. To do so in the limited time they had is even more credible, as planning for a major tournament normally requires several months of brainstorming and preparations.
The players participating in the IPL are going through a novel experience. They need to travel clad in a protective suit and face gear, masked underneath, and their photographs have shown them as a team ready to embark on a journey to outer space rather than to the modern cities of the United Arab Emirates. This understandably is the only way that cricketers could be safely transported to finally make it to the first destination and that is to get them into the bio-secure bubble.
The difficult situation that each one of them will need to face would be six days of quarantine and mandatory isolation. To be confined all alone, with no interaction can be a very depressing experience for an extrovert person or one who enjoys the company of others. This will be the first of the mental ordeals that the cricketers and the support staff will need to confront.
Thereafter, they may feel better once they can mingle with their teammates, coaches and trainers, but restrictions for well over two months at a stretch could be frustrating for many. The mental aspect of how the cricketers will face and absorb the on-field pressures as well as the off the field conditions could play a major role in how teams will fare in the IPL.
One feels, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has been very sensible. He has taken his family with him and in doing so he has eliminated the loneliness that many others may confront as the tournament goes on.
The difficult task for the franchises, administrators and organisers will be to ensure that the 300 and more players and participants of the IPL 2020 pantomime do not err in anyway. Virat Kohli very rightly said recently that just one mistake could jeopardise the entire tournament.
This is a major responsibility on the shoulders of each person who enters the scary bio-bubble. Once there, they are engulfed in a world of their own. Maybe a few tips from Indias famous actress Shilpa Shetty would have been useful. After all, she did win the famous UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother and hosted the popular Indian show Bigg Boss. This is where housemates or contestants are isolated in a house to compete and survive till the end to aspire to be the winner.
The art of surviving and the mental constraints that arise in such a situation is what could be the differential factor in ones performance on the field as well.
