IND vs NZ: India-New Zealand teams reach Ranchi, bio bubble made from hotel to pavilion

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20: The second T20 match will be played between India and New Zealand tomorrow i.e. on November 19 in Ranchi. There is tremendous enthusiasm among the cricket lovers regarding this match. When both the teams reached Ranchi at four o’clock in the evening, there was a huge crowd of people along the roads from Birsa Munda Airport to the hotel to get a glimpse of the players. The police took both the teams to Hotel Radisson Blu located at Kadru More amid tight security cordon.

In view of Kovid, a bio bubble has been created in the players’ pavilion in this hotel and stadium since November 16. Hotel and pavilion staff have also been quarantined from the same date. No person is allowed to enter the hotel rooms and lobbies.

Soon after reaching the hotel on Thursday evening, some staff including the head coach of the New Zealand team left for the JSCA stadium. They will take stock of the pitch. Team India or New Zealand team is not expected to participate in the practice session. It is possible that on Friday morning some players of both the teams will take part in the short session.
