Don’t you want to watch MS Dhoni lead the Chennai Super Kings at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, where he hit the World Cup six? But with a surge of COVID-19 in the city, how can you afford to go to the Wankhede in Mumbai. Well, as per a report in the Times of India, if a fan wishes to go and watch Dhoni’s CSK take on Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals – the individual needs to carry a COVID negative report.
“The tests are mandatory even for those who’ve been vaccinated. The report will have to be produced at the time of entry on each match day,” MCA secretary Sanjay Naik wrote in the letter to Apex Council members.
The test is important for those who have been vaccinated as well.
CSK v DC Preview
Delhi Capitals will face three-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings in the second match of the season. Delhi finished as the runner-up in the last season while CSK finished in the bottom four for the first time in IPL history. Things will be different this time as both teams have added some new players to the squad. Delhi bought Steve Smith while CSK acquired the likes of Moeen Ali and Krishnappa Gowtham. Rishabh Pant will lead the IPL franchise for the first time as Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the tournament after sustaining a shoulder injury.
The match would be interesting also because Pant would be padding up for the MS test.
