The entire Indian team underwent RT-PCR tests after all-rounder Krunal Pandya tested positive for Covid-19 just hours before the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday.

The Indian cricket team in Sri Lanka breathed a huge sigh of relief on Tuesday as it was confirmed that none of the other players who came in close contact with Krunal Pandya are positive for coronavirus.

The second T20 international between India and Sri Lanka got postponed by a day after Krunal Pandya tested positive for Covid-19 in Colombo, just hours before the toss was scheduled to take place at the R Premadasa stadium.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) later revealed that 8 players, apart from Krunal, were identified as close contacts and underwent RT-PCR tests.
