The 13th edition of Indian Premier League has all set to take place in UAE from September 19. The cash-rich league has shifted to UAE from India, keeping the rise of COVID-19 cases in India in mind. Recently, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli said in a virtual welcome team meeting that one mistake from any player could spoil the entire league.

In a video shared by the franchise's twitter handle, Virat Kohli is seen saying to his teammates about the bio-secure bubble that has created to prevent the spread of global pandemic COVID-19.

He said, "We've done quite well to get to Dubai safe and sound firstly. We've followed what's been told to us and I would expect everyone to be on the same page in terms of securing the bubble at all times and making sure that nothing is compromised, because one mistake from any of us could literally spoil the whole tournament and none of us want to do that.”

He added, "I can't wait to get to our first practice session. Something that we all are going to cherish, an opportunity to create a good team culture from Day 1. For me, it's all about what can I do to create an environment where everyone feels part of the team equally and everyone feels responsible for where we want to go equally. Everyone has to contribute towards that, firstly the seniors in the team. Let's start things on the right note."

Along with this, Virat Kohli further opened up about the consequences in case a player breaches the bio-secure bubble. He said that they have to understand the rules that have created to protect the players and players should continue to protect this bubble.
