Kohli’s team had moved to Ahmedabad after playing the first leg of the tournament in Chennai and then a couple of games in Mumbai. However, on Monday, ahead of their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, the IPL confirmed that the match has been rescheduled after two players from the opposition camp tested positive for COVID-19. On Tuesday, the big news dropped as IPL’s governing council announced the postponement of the league following a couple of cases in different franchises, including Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals.
Virat Kohli is now expected to focus on contributing to India’s COVID-19 fight as announced by his wife Anushka Sharma on Sunday. The actress took to social media to announce that she and Virat Kohli will work together to do their bit in India’s battle against the viral disease, adding that they will announce the details soon. The couple will also get some time to be with their daughter Vamika, who was born in January this year. Kohli will then fly to England for the one-off Test match against New Zealand in the World Test Championship final on June 18.
