IPL 2021: List of player who could miss their team's first match this season
Hindustan TimesThe Indian Premier League's 14th edition gets underway in Chennai on Friday with Mumbai Indians taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore. With the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to affect the preparation of teams and the tournament's SOP needing foreign players to follow a 7-day quarantine rule, there are several players who are doubtful starters for their respective franchise's opening games of the season. Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada on their way to Mumbai to join DC squad IPL 2021 FULL SCHEDULE Here is a list of players who could miss out on the first matches that their teams play: Mumbai Indians: There is a question mark over the availability of 'pocket-dynamite' Quinton de Kock's availability for the opening match due to his late arrival in India as he was playing for South Africa against Pakistan. Delhi Capitals: Left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who had tested positive for Covid-19, needs to return 2 negative tests by April 10 to play his team's first match. Sunrisers Hyderabad: West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder made an instant impact for SRH when he joined the team late in the campaign last season and provided much needed balance to the side.
