IPL bio-bubble break has sent IPL schedule into jeopardy. Reports of players and coaching staff of different franchise being tested positive for COVID-19 did raise questions about how water tight is the bubble.
First news of KKR players infected with the virus broke out, then CSK’s bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji confirmed positive reports. Amit Mishra of Delhi Capitals and Wriddhiman Saha of SRH had tested positive for COVID-19.
Delhi were sent for hard quarantine for five days since they played against KKR. Hence conducting practice sessions were doubtful.
Delhi Capitals official statement on their website stated-
“As we had played our last game against KKR, we have been advised to go into quarantine and all of us are in isolation. We are all in our rooms. We don’t have any information if that practice session will go ahead.”
