IPL 2021: Venky Mysore Delivers A Health Update On Sandeep Warrier And Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday sent shockwaves throughout the Kolkata Knight Riders’ camp and IPL. The ongoing strain of COVID-19 outbreak that has ravaged India also penetrated the secure bubble of IPL 2021. Nevertheless, Kolkata Knight Riders’ CEO Venky Mysore has delivered an encouraging piece of news regarding the duo’s health.

Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier testing positive for COVID-19 forced the BCCI to postpone their clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Ahmedabad on Monday. The duo was sent into isolation, along with the players also separating themselves and quarantining themselves. The medical team has resorted to strict testing protocols now as they would carry it out daily to prevent any more positive instances.

Nevertheless, as some reports suggest, it emerged that Varun Chakravarthy had not breached the bio-secure environment. The leggie complained of abdominal pain and went to the designated health facility with the team doctor by following all the protocols. Also the staff, who treated Varun, a ward boy and technician, had already received two doses of vaccine and are showing no symptoms.
