Off-field drama
The third week of IPL was filled with off-field drama with many foreign players apart from India and Delhi Capitals (DC) off-spinner R Ashwin and top Indian umpire Nitin Menon opting out of the cash-rich T20 league due to personal reasons and rising cases of COVID-19 in the country. The fear of being locked out of their own country after Australia announced suspending air travel from India till May 15 drove many Aussies to exit the bio-bubble. However, the BCCI went on to assure foreign players and coaches of a safe return once the tourney is over.
