The news was first reported by Indian Express which said that the person who tested positive was sharing a room with another player. Both of them have now been isolated. No details, including whether the person returned positive rapid antigen test or a positive RT-PCR test, could be confirmed.

The IPL has not issued any comment including whether the match, scheduled at DY Patil Sports Academy, will go ahead.

Capitals players mingled with Super Kings on Saturday at the teams’ training session. It is understood that the Super Kings have not yet been asked to undergo any fresh tests.

As per the IPL rules, any person testing positive in the tournament bubble would need to isolate for a minimum of seven days. To re-enter the bubble, the person would need to return consecutive negative PCR tests taken 24 hours apart.
