On the other hand, Delhi Capitals’ batting coach, Shane Watson, while speaking on the impact of Covid, said, “It is challenging when you are isolated because we human beings are social animals.

“But, it also made us appreciate getting out, getting to the ground, getting to the training, and getting to the game as well. And, to appreciate being out in the fresh air, making the most of it. So, it was definitely a challenging week for everyone, having sort of worked through that isolation period,” he further added.
