It seems Delhi Capitals' bad luck has no end. Just prior to the start of the 14th edition of the India Premier League, Delhi Capitals' spinner Axar Patel has tested positive for the global pandemic novel coronavirus.
A few days ago, they got a massive blow as their captain Shreyas Iyer was ruled out after dislocating his shoulder while fielding during the first ODI against England in Pune. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders' batsman Nitish Rana too was said to be Covid-19 positive but KKR later clarified that he was found negative as well.
The Indian Premier League will begin on April 9 with Royal Challengers Bangalore taking on the two-times defending champion Mumbai Indians whereas Delhi Capitals will begin their journey against Chennai Super Kings on April 10.
