Despite being affected by the virus, the 44-year old has been actively following the Indian T20 League season. He has been very active with his tweets. He also followed the recent game of Mumbai which they lost against Rajasthan.

"Five time champions. Four time champions. Both started the #IPL2022 with two consecutive losses. That’s why it’s imperative to view this season in isolation…with the past laurels counting for precious little. Big auctions can do that…often do that," he wrote in his tweet.
