They are baffled about how it can happen for a second time and will launch a probe to determine the course of action,” said one report that appeared in InsideSport. “It’s baffling. Right now, it is difficult to say how this happened again - whether from the hotel staff or from the franchise officials, or the players,” a baffled BCCI official had told InsideSport yesterday. Delhi Capitals are currently staying at the iconic Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai and already four hotel staffers have tested positive over the last one month.

It was the 55th match of the 74-match tournament that is to end at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 29 May
