Corona cases have been reported for the second time in IPL 2022. This time also the corona report of a player from Delhi has come positive. After this, there is doubt about the match between Delhi and Chennai. Even before this, many cases of corona were reported in the camp of Delhi Capitals, but it did not have much effect in the tournament. The entire team has been isolated after the case of Corona came to light in Delhi's camp. However, it is a matter of relief for Delhi that the player whose corona report has come positive is a net bowler and is not part of the main team.


Delhi's team has to play its 11th match against Chennai Super Kings from 7:30 pm today at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, but due to the entire team being in isolation, there is a doubt about the match. All the players have been tested on Sunday morning and they have been asked to stay inside their rooms. Any decision regarding the match between Delhi and Chennai will be taken only after the report of this investigation is received.


Delhi team has been isolated for the second time

This is the second time during IPL 2022 that Delhi's team has been isolated. Earlier, six members of the team, including team physio Patrick Farhart, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, keeper-batsman Tim Seifert and three support staff, were found to be corona infected. Due to this there was also a change in the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Earlier this match was to be played in Pune, but later it was made in Mumbai.


Match can be held on time

There has been no official information from the BCCI regarding the match between Delhi and Chennai, but in media reports, Delhi officials have been quoted as saying that this match can be held at the scheduled time and place. There is also no possibility of any change in the team due to the infection of the net bowler.


When and where did Corona cases come in Delhi Capitals

Many cases of corona have been reported in the Delhi team in the last few days. On 15 April, the team's physio Patrick Farhart was first found to be Corona positive. After this, on April 16, Delhi's sports massage therapist Chetan Kumar was also found infected. On April 18, the corona report of Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, team doctor Abhijit Salvi, social media content team member Akash Mane also came positive. On 20 April, another player of Delhi's team Tim Seifert of New Zealand was found corona infected.
