IPL 2021 | Nortje’s second COVID-19 test result awaited

Rabada clears RT-PCR tests

Delhi Capitals’ South African speedster Anrich Nortje will not be available for the match against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday as his COVID-19 reports are still awaited. However, the good news for DC is that Kagiso Rabada has cleared his RT-PCR tests and has joined the team’s training session. There are reports that Nortje has tested positive, but the Capitals management hasn’t yet come out with any official statement. As per the IPL SOP, all players who have a positive result are tested once again in order to ensure that the first RT-PCR outcome wasn’t a false one.
