It has been a tough few weeks for Delhi Capitals. Apart from the inconsistent performances on the field, the team is also getting affected by COVID. First, a few members of the camp tested positive for the virus.

He has returned and has started to do well for the franchise.

Now, it is said that a net bowler from the camp has tested positive. It is reported that the bowler has been isolated along with another cricketer who was sharing the room with him. This has happened on the morning of the matchday and as per the protocol, Delhi Capitals will have to undergo another round of testing. Till then, all members will be isolated in their rooms.

A crucial few days for Delhi Capitals

Delhi currently has five wins from ten games. The team is finally starting to look dangerous with the likes of Rovman Powell and Mitchell Marsh doing well. The points table is still wide open and DC can force an entry into the playoffs with a few wins. Hence, the upcoming game against CSK is important in that context. Earlier, when DC was riddled with a similar issue, they had done well in the subsequent game. The management will expect a similar display of character against the defending champions.
