SRH pacer T Natarajan tests positive for Covid-19 ahead of the match against Delhi Capitals

SRH’s left-arm pacer, T. Natarajan, recently tested positive for Covid-19. Team management later identified all-rounder Vijay Shankar as one of Natarajan’s closest contacts. So the Tamil Nadu duo will miss this contest. The rest of the squad members did return negative results, so today’s match will go ahead.

The IPL’s media advisory in this regard read:

The medical team has identified six close contacts of T Natarajan and placed them in isolation. Those six contacts are - Vijay Shankar (Player), Vijay Kumar (Team Manager), Shyam Sundar J ( Physiotherapist), Anjana Vannan (Doctor), Tushar Khedkar (Logistics Manager), Periyasamy Ganesan (Net Bowler).
