Having skipped the 13th season of IPL after giving birth to a baby boy last year, sports presenter Mayanti Langer won’t be a part of IPL 2021 as well.
Mayanti has covered many major cricketing events till now, and will, therefore, be missed by her plentiful fans.
“I’ve had what we call a pandemic pregnancy and my baby is a pandemic baby. I had to be completely isolated since I was in the high-risk category during my pregnancy, so as of now I am not thinking about a career or going back to work,” Langer told Hindustan Times last month.
