Three members of the Chennai Super Kings have turned COVID-19 positive as per reports in ESPN Cricinfo. CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan, bowling coach L Balaji and a bus cleaner are the suspects at the moment. It is understood that the rest of the squad, which is currently in Delhi, has tested negative. The results emerged after the latest round of testing on Sunday. CSK are flying high in the tournament with 10 points from the first seven games in IPL 2021.

Cricinfo understands Viswanathan, Balaji and the member of the maintenance staff took a fresh test on Monday morning to rule out the possibility of a false positive. If they test positive again, they would need to spend 10 days in a designated isolation facility. They will need to return with two negative tests to rejoin the squad.
