How did IPL impact Indian cricket team's performance? Trainer opens up

Indian cricket team's strength and conditioning coach Shankar Basu has opened up about the impact of IPL on Virat Kohli's squad. Basu said that the squad took a "beating" during IPL due to their schedule and sleeping pattern. He added that getting them back on track to the training regime was a challenge.

Team India's trainer Shankar Basu: During IPL, whether we like it or not the boys take a beating. During IPL, they sleep as late as 2-3am, getting back to training regime was a sort of a challenge. They understand importance of good sleep/wake pattern, good nutrition & training. pic.twitter.com/OLCrVEKsfU
