The corona epidemic has started looming over Phase-2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL-2021). 4 hours 30 minutes before the match against Delhi Capitals, news has come that Hyderabad fast bowler T. Natarajan has become Corona positive. However, the BCCI has said that the match will be held on a pre-determined schedule. Apart from Hyderabad all-rounder Vijay Shankar, five coaching staff have been sent to isolation after Natarajan tested positive.
In May, the season had to be postponed after several players and support staff tested positive. After this, the board had decided to conduct phase-2 of the league in the UAE in September-October. Due to Corona, the decision was taken not to hold the T20 World Cup in India. This tournament will be held in UAE and Oman after IPL Phase-2.
In the first phase of IPL 2021, Amit Mishra, Wriddhiman Shaha, Varun Chakraborty, Sandeep Warrier, Nitish Rana, Devdutt Padikkal, Daniel Sams, and Axar Patel were corona positive. Apart from this, Chennai's bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji, Chennai CEO Kashi Vishwanathan, Mumbai's talent search officer Kiran More, DDCA groundsman, Wankhede ground staff, and IPL broadcast team Corona were infected.
Natarajan reached UAE on 9 September
T Natarajan had reached UAE on 9 September to attend a training camp in Hyderabad. That is, they are present there for 13 days. It is not yet clear when he turned positive.
Hyderabad team was in the last place after Phase-1
At the end of Phase-1, Delhi's team was at number-1 in the points table with 12 points from 8 matches. At the same time, Hyderabad's team was in last place with 2 points from 7 matches. In the first match of Phase-2, Chennai defeated Mumbai and snatched first place from Delhi. Now Delhi has a chance to go to number-1 again. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has high hopes from David Warner. Sunrisers Hyderabad has released a video on social media of Warner taking shots in practice a few hours before the match. Whose caption has been given that we are ready?
Delhi's batting will be strengthened by the return of Shreyas Iyer
Before the start of Phase I, Shreyas Iyer had injured his shoulder in the match against England. Now he is back in the team after getting fit. His presence will strengthen Delhi's batting. Delhi has a very successful opening pair in the form of Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan. The presence of skippers Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, and Shimron Hetmyer make the batting of this team extremely dangerous.
