Digital Desk: Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra, who is part of the star-studded commentary team for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, has tested positive for coronavirus. The 45-year-old took to Twitter to give an update on his health, revealing that he is suffering from mild symptoms and will be out of the commentary booth for a few days.
"Caught and Bowled Covid. Yups...the C Virus has struck again. Really mild symptoms ... all under control," Chopra said in a tweet on Tuesday.
"Will be away from the commentary duties for a few days, hoping to come back stronger #TataIPL," he added.
The dreaded Covid-19 has previously affected the Indian Premier League. The uncontrollable Covid-19 outbreak around the globe forced the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to organize the last few IPL tournaments inside bio-bubbles, ensuring the safety of the players, support staff, and other participants involved. After 2019, the world's richest T20 tournament reverted to its initial home-and-away format.
In the last 24 hours, India recorded 3,038 new cases of coronavirus infection. With this, the total number of infected people in the nation has risen to 4,47,29,284. According to the most recent data, the number of patients undergoing treatment in the nation has risen to 21,179.
According to the latest data published by the Union Health Ministry at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, the country's death toll from the coronavirus has risen to 5, 30,901.
IPL 2023 kicked off on March 31 with a high-octane battle between CSK and GT, and it will conclude on May 28th, 2023.
