Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman Devdutt Padikkal has become the third player to test positive for Covid-19 ahead of the new Indian Premier League season, which begins on Friday. Bangalore said Padikkal returned a positive result on March 22 before he was due to join the squad, which is in a bio-secure bubble in Chennai.


“He has been in mandatory quarantine at his residence in Bengaluru since then,” the team said. “Devdutt will be fit to join the RCB bio-bubble once his RT-PCR tests are negative.”


Delhi Capitals’ Axar Patel and Kolkata Knight Riders’ Nitish Rana tested positive earlier.
