BCCI looking to move IPL games to Mumbai

TIL Desk Sports/ With Chennai Super Kings Bowling Coach Lakshmipathy Balaji testing positive for COVID-19, CSK will have to isolate for six days as per the BCCI standard operating procedures, throwing in doubt their match against the Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on Wednesday.

A BCCI official said while the CSK versus Royals game is doubtful after Balaji’s positive test, the Board is also looking to move base to Mumbai keeping in mind the COVID-19 situation in Kolkata and Bengaluru, where the next set of matches will be played.

“As of now, the Delhi game between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad is on. But tomorrow’s game is likely to get postponed as Balaji has again tested positive for COVID-19. So we have two teams down, Kolkata Knight Riders and CSK,” the BCCI official said.
