Cricket | In India, apart from Bollywood celebs and politicians, the corona virus is wreaking havoc on the sports world as well. On Sunday, the father of fast bowler Chetan Sakaria, who played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021, has died due to Kovid-19. This information has been given by his franchise. His father was recently found corona positive, after which he was hospitalized.

Rajasthan Royals tweeted that, 'It is very sad to hear that Chetan Sakaria's father Kanjibhai Sakaria has lost in the battle against Kovid-19. We are in touch with Chetan Sakaria and will try our best to help him and his family in this difficult time. '

In IPL 2021, Sakaria was one of the young cricketers who attracted the attention of veterans on the strength of his brilliant game. His team may not have been among the top teams in the point table before the tournament was postponed, but he made everyone crazy with his bowling and superb fielding. He took 7 wickets in 7 matches this season, which includes big wickets like MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, KL Rahul.

Sakaria recently said, 'I am lucky because Rajasthan Royals paid me my share a few days ago. I immediately sent the money home and it helped my father in the biggest time. ' After postponing the IPL, Sakariya arrived at the hospital wearing a PPE kit to see her father. He came to know only last week that his father was fighting a war against Corona.
