A day after five Indian cricketers including Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant were isolated from the test squad for violating COVID-19 protocols, a photograph of Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli breaching the Cricket Australia bio-bubble has gone viral on social media.

According to Australian media Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya had gone shopping to a baby store in Sydney on December 7, where they had posed for several photographs with the staffers without a facemask. This was found to be in violation of the coronavirus protocol as the players should have been wearing face masks when they had walked inside the store.
