VIPIN POWAR/Sportzpics for IPL
Black Caps pace bowler Kyle Jamieson plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
An Indian Premier League match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore was postponed on Monday after two players tested positive for Covid-19 amid a catastrophic surge of cases in the country.
Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier, who both play for Kolkata, are self-isolating after becoming the first players to test positive for Covid-19 inside the IPL bubble since the 2021 season started on April 9.
Former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum coaches Kolkata, while Black Caps T20 opener Tim Seifert is also on their books. Kiwis Kyle Mills (bowling coach) and Chris Donaldson (strength and conditioning coach) are involved with the team too.
