However, it was still not comfortable when he did his first training session on Friday ahead of the IPL's resumption.

He has also expressed his excitement about meeting his teammates after completing his quarantine period.

"It's really nice to meet everyone after coming out of quarantine. It's been great meeting the teammates here in training."
