The veteran Indian off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, who previously led the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), was roped in by Delhi Capitals (DC) during the transfer window ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. As he reached Dubai, ahead of IPL 13, he went through a mandatory six-day quarantine period. In a video uploaded on the Delhi Capitals’ YouTube channel, Ashwin recalled that that week as the worst phase of his life.

In the Youtube video, Ashwin said, “I was at home for the last five-six months. But I had people to fall upon. I was doing my own work on my YouTube channel, trying to keep myself occupied on Instagram Live and all that. But for me, those six days can easily be called out as one of the worst times in my life. Because the first day was like I was looking out and I can see Dubai Lake. It is wonderful but how long can one sit outside and watch? And it is extremely hot.”

However, Ravichandran Ashwin also admitted that he was happy to see the entire Delhi Capitals camp returning negative results for the virus and, hence, successfully came out for training.

Elaborating the same, Ashwin said, “Generally I don’t watch a lot of mobile phones, I don’t use it for a long time. I have a cap of about two to 2 and a half hours. But all of a sudden I am seeing today, that my mobile usage for the last week or so has been six hours he added. And I was getting sick because, for me, I couldn’t even read the books as my concentration was all over the place. But thankfully six days were over and everybody tested negative and we came out.”
