Delhi
Capitals
are
facing
Rajasthan
Royals
at
the
Wankhede
Stadium
in
match
number
34
of
the
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL)
2022
on
Friday
(April
22).
Ricky
himself
has
returned
negative
twice
but
he
has
stayed
to
remain
in
isolation.
“A
family
member
of
Delhi
Capitals
Head
Coach
Ricky
Ponting
has
tested
positive
for
COVID.
The
family
has
now
been
moved
into
an
isolation
facility
and
is
being
well
taken
care
of,”
said
an
official
release
from
Delhi
Capitals.
“Ponting
himself
has
tested
negative
twice
subsequently.
However,
in
the
best
interest
of
the
team,
the
management
and
medical
team
has
decided
that
he
will
remain
in
isolation
for
five
days,
as
he
was
a
close
contact.
He
will,
therefore,
not
be
present
at
the
ground
for
tonight’s
game
against
Rajasthan
Royals.
The
franchise
requests
for
Ponting
and
his
family’s
privacy
to
be
respected
in
the
current
scenario,”
the
release
added
further.
The
franchise
also
gave
an
update
on
the
condition
of
the
Delhi
Capitals’ players
and
staff
who
tested
positive
for
the
deadly
virus
and
are
in
the
isolation.
“The
condition
of
all
individuals
in
the
bubble
who
have
tested
positive
so
far
is
being
closely
monitored.
The
team
looks
forward
to
everyone’s
speedy
recovery,” the
release
added
further.
The
team’s
two
foreign
players
Tim
Siefert
and
Mitchell
Marsh
have
tested
positive
for
COVID19
along
with
a
couple
of
members
of
the
support
staff.
Delhi
Capitals,
however,
showed
a
lot
of
character
in
their
previous
game
when
they
defeated
Punjab
Kings
by
a
comprehensive
margin
of
9
wickets.
The
Rishabh
Pant-led
side
first
restricted
Punjab
Kings
to
a
paltry
115
and
later
chased
down
the
target
with
9
wickets
in
hand.
