"The entire Delhi Capitals contingent underwent 2 rounds of Covid testing today. Match No. 32 involving Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings scheduled today at Brabourne – CCI will go ahead as per the schedule after the second round of Covid tests returned negative today.
Delhi Capitals captain Pant opened up for the first time since the Covid outbreak in the camp, calling it an unfortunate event. "It (Covid positive cases in the team) is an unfortunate thing, we are not going to think about it. We will find strength among ourselves," he said at the toss.
"Obviously there was confusion in our camp because in the morning we got to know that Tim (Seifert) is also positive. There was some confusion, nervousness and what are we going to do now kind of feeling, but we spoke in the team meeting and pointed out on what we can focus on, there was so much noise from the outside that we thought we will focus on the match," said Pant during the post-match presentation.
