Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal‘s parents have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the cricketer’s wife Dhanashree Verma. Further, Chahal’s father has been hospitalized with ‘severe symptoms’ while his mother is being treated at home.

The second wave of the pandemic has been wreaking havoc in India and more than 3.5 lakh cases are being reported each and every day. The situation in the country is extremely dire and the rest of the nations have been looking at India with grave concern. There is a state of perpetual uncertainty in every walk of life, even as acute problems like shortage of oxygen and hospital beds continue to plague the country.

With regard to the cricketing world, a sizable amount of players got infected recently during the now-suspended Indian Premier League (IPL 2021). With more than 5 cases being reported inside the teams’ bio-bubbles, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took the decision of indefinitely suspending the event and sending all players back home.
