Some users have also commented expressing their desire for Punjab’s win in the upcoming IPL season. Last month, Anil had said that he is happy with the squad for IPL 2021. In the auction on February 19 the team had got nine new players for the season. The players who have joined the squad in this edition of the IPL are Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, Moises Henriques andDawid Malan, among others. It is also worth mentioning that due to the rise in cases of coronavirus in Maharashtra, BCCI is thinking of moving the IPL venue to different parts of the country.

Meanwhile, legendary cricketers like Ravi Shastri and Kapil Dev recently took the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Ravi got himself vaccinated at a hospital in Ahmedabad, while Kapil went to a hospital in Delhi. Both these cricketers got the vaccines after India entered the second phase of vaccination. In this phase, everyone above the age of 60 and those over 45 with co-morbidities are eligible to get the vaccine.
