6 members who were in close contact of the Natarajan are under observation. According to sources, these are Vijay Shankar and bowler P Ganesan. Doctor Anjana Vannan, Team Manager Vijay Kumar, Tushar Khedkar ( Logistics Manager ) and Shyam Sundar are positive as well.
However, BCCI has decided not to cancel the game and DC Vs SRH will continue to play as per the schedule.
Due to covid-19 the tournament was earlier postponed and scheduled after 4 months under strict guidelines. The second innings of IPL 2021 started on 19th September with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians playing the first match. So far, three matches have already been played in UAE under the presence of a limited audience.
If the test reports of more players turn out to be positive then not just DC vs SRH will get canceled but other matches or maybe series may get extend further.
