Wondering How, Despite All Precautions, Wriddhiman Saha Got Infected, Says VVS Laxman
Sunrisers Hyderabad mentor VVS Laxman said that the team was extremely surprised to have seen wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha contracted Covid-19 despite all precautions being taken in the IPL bio-bubble. Laxman revealed that Saha was supposed to play their match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, but was put in isolation after he reported feeling ‘a little under the weather’. “Wriddhi was slated to play Sunday’s match against Rajasthan Royals but felt a little under the weather on Saturday night. We immediately placed him in isolation and, despite our prayers, he returned a positive test,” Laxman wrote in his column for Times of India. “We are still wondering how, despite taking all precautions, Wriddhi got infected,” he wrote.
Laxman said that they had full confidence in the bio-bubble and the security protocols, but the team members had caught up with old friends after the game against Chennai Super Kings, and there was anxiety in the camp after the news of positive tests in the CSK team cropped up.
“We had full confidence in the protocols that had been put in place even when we moved from one city to another, but once we learnt of the positive tests in the KKR and CSK camp, our apprehensions mounted,” he wrote.
