Jimmy Neesham, who is set to play for Kings XI Punjab, is getting bored in the bio-secure bubble while the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is set to begin from 19th September.

To live in a bio-secure bubble is a tough challenge, especially mentally, because the players are not allowed to meet any outsider or enjoy or room freely outside their hotels. All thanks to the coronavirus.

As per norms, the players will have to stay in a bubble to curb the spread of the infectious virus. The rules have become more strict after the virus spread in the CSK camp.

Taking to Twitter, Jimmy Neesham wrote that he was desperate to do something in the IPL bubble. For which, he has asked the Twitter users to give contact numbers for renting a gold simulator for two months, which means till the tournament gets over.

“Does anybody have contacts for renting a golf simulator for the 2 months while we’re in Dubai? Desperate for something to do in the IPL bubble!”

Several players Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and others have talked about how challenging is for the players to remain positive while surviving in the current scenario.
