Our responsibility to give people some reason to smile, says Morris, about IPL amid COVID-19

The Rajasthan Royals’ all-rounder commended the front-line workers all over the world who are working tirelessly to help everyone in these tough times.

Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Chris Morris said the COVID-19 catastrophe in India was discussed multiple times by his team and the players feel the pain that the pandemic is causing in its deadly second wave. India is reeling under the second wave of the pandemic with cases rising by over 3 lakh everyday, a crisis compounded by shortage of some crucial medicines and oxygen supplies. Morris said it is “difficult to comprehend” what is happening. “As a team, we have been talking about it quite a lot over the last couple of days. We have seen how badly this pandemic has taken over specific parts, if not all of India,” Morris said at the post-match press conference after his side defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets here on April 24.
