Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has tested negative in his mandatory RT-PCR test after returning a positive Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), meaning the IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings on Wednesday will go on as scheduled.

It can also be confirmed that save physio Patrick Farhart, who is already in isolation after testing positive, all the other RT-PCR reports have turned out to be negative.

"Mitchell Marsh's RT-PCR report has come negative. RT-PCR report is supposed to be conclusive evidence and all other members have also tested negative in RT-PCR tests. There is no threat to Wednesday's match between DC and PBKS," a senior BCCI official told PTI on Monday.

It is understood that an Australian all-rounder showed some symptoms and a Rapid Antigen Test was performed which came positive.

It could have been due to the fact that he was undergoing rehab under Farhart's guidance and picked up mild symptoms which didn't turn out to be alarming.

"DC were supposed to travel to Pune today but the entire squad members have been told to retire to their respective rooms and as per protocol RT PCR is being done to ascertain whether there is an outbreak in the camp or it is an isolated case like Patrick Farhart," a BCCI source had earlier said.

A team masseur had also apparently showed some symptoms but he has also reportedly tested negative.

"All teams are staying at Conrad Hotel in Pune where BCCI has created a bio-bubble. They were supposed to travel but now it has been delayed. Obviously all those whose results would be negative would carry on with onward journey tomorrow," the source said.

As per BCCI's testing protocols, every member of an IPL squad in a team bubble is tested every fifth day unlike last season when it was every third day. However if the franchise on its own wants the members to be tested, they are more than welcome.

The development comes after team physio Farhart tested positive last week. "We were supposed to leave today but have been told to stay in room until further notice," said a team source.

With COVID cases rising outside the IPL bio-bubble, the virus threat inside the protected environment has also increased.

Last season, the tournament had to be suspended midway due to the second wave before it could be completed in the UAE in September-October.

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings back on track as Mitchell Marsh tests negative for COVID-19

Rajasthan Royals will be looking to get back to winning ways as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday. Both sides have six points but RR are fifth in the points table while KKR are sixth as a result of better net run rate for Sanju Samson &amp; Co.

In the previous encounter, they were beaten by Gujarat Titans as Hardik Pandya played a brilliant 52-ball-87 knock while debutant Yash Dayal and Lockie Ferguson took three wickets each.

With Trent Boult cleared to play, he is expected to bolster the already impressive RR bowling line up and he can replace New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham who did not do much in the last game.

Against Kolkata Knight Riders, Jos Buttler is expected to open the batting with in-form Devdutt Padikkal with skipper Samson looking for his lost form at No 3 in the batting line-up.

South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen and West Indies’ Shimron Hetmyer are once again expected to retain their places in the RR middle order with Riyan Parag being the Indian all-rounder option.

IPL 2022: Return of Trent Boult? Rajasthan Royals predicted XI against Kolkata Knight Riders

Umran Malik was the star for Sunrisers Hyderabad with the ball as they raced to a comfortable victory over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. The young pacer from Jammu &amp; Kashmir was the pick of the SRH bowlers as he completed a brilliant four-wicket haul.

Malik started with the dismissal of Jitesh Sharma and in the final over of the match, he took the wickets of Odean Smith, Rahul Chahar and Vaibhav Arora without conceding a single run.

Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh was amazed by the pace and talent of the youngster and back him to make his place in the India squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup.

"This (Blue) is the only jersey missing and he should get it early. I feel he is the most deserving one who should be selected to play for India in that T20 World Cup in Australia. He could be your match winner there," he said on Star Sports after the end of the PBKS innings against SRH.

SRH became the first team in this year’s IPL to register four consecutive wins in the competition after losing two of their opening matches. Malik was the best bowler for them while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three scalps at the top of the innings to bundle out a hapless Punjab Kings for just 151.

While chasing a modest total, SRH hardly faced much difficulty as Abhishek Sharma started well and the duo of Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran was able to guide them to victory.

IPL 2022: 'Most deserving' - Harbhajan Singh backs SRH pacer to be included in India's T20 World Cup squad

Former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra picked two teams who, according to him, have ‘lit up’ the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Chopra was&nbsp;all praise for Gujarat Titans as they defeated Chennai Super Kings in the absence of their skipper Hardik Pandya on Sunday. He also lauded Sunrisers Hyderabad after they registered their fourth consecutive victory of the tournament.

"Winning without Hardik. Winning without Gill scoring a single run. This Gujarat Team is doing things that I never thought were possible with their resources. Two teams-GT and SRH have lit up this #IPL2022," Chopra tweeted.

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will both be looking to get back to winning ways as they face each other in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday. Rajasthan Royals are currently fifth in the IPL points table with three wins in five matches with an impressive net run rate of 0.389 while KKR are sixth with the same number of points from six games and a net run rate of 0.223.

KKR made a number of changes to their side in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad with Aaron Finch joining the side after completing his commitments with the Australia cricket team. KKR also included Sheldon Jackson and Aman Khan in place of Sam Billings and the injured Rasikh Salam.

However, it was a disappointing outing for them as they were completely outplayed by SRH as the duo of Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram guided their side to a comfortable seven-wicket win.

On the other hand, RR were also forced to face Gujarat Titans without Trent Boult and a great batting display from Hardik Pandya along with a disciplined bowling performance from debutant Yash Dayal and Lockie Ferguson handed them their second defeat of the IPL season.

RR vs KKR, IPL 2022 prediction:

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders are coming into the encounter on the back of defeats but considering the overall form in the competition, RR will hold a slight advantage over KKR. The KKR batting has not fired properly till now and an over-reliance on the overseas finishers may prove to be their downfall once again as they will be up against one of the best bowling line ups in RR. The bowling of KKR has also taken a beating in the last few matches and has added to their concerns.

RR vs KKR, IPL 2022 match prediction: Who will win Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders clash?

It was a debut to remember for Cheteshwar Pujara as the India batsman scored an unbeaten double hundred to grab a draw for Sussex during their 2022 County Championship match against Derbyshire on Sunday. The right-hander, known for his discipline and defensive game, played his trademark game as he scored 201 off 387 balls with the help of 23 boundaries to save the game for his side.

Pujara currently has 14 double centuries in first class cricket – the most by any cricketer since the start of the 21st century. The knock against Derbyshire allowed him to surpass Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara who scored 13 double centuries.

The batsman also became the second Indian cricketer to score a double century in county cricket after Mohammad Azharuddin who represented Derbyshire. The former Indian cricket team skipper scored 212 against Leicestershire in 1991 and 205 against Durham in 1994.

Pujara, who has not played for India since the tour of South Africa, stitched together a 351-run stand with Tom Haines (243) as Sussex were able to draw the encounter after being followed on.

This was the first instance when two batsmen scored double centuries in the same first-class innings after their team was followed on. Pujara and Haines also became the first pair for Sussex to score double centuries in the same innings since 1921.

On the personal front, this ended a century draught for Pujara lasting 52 first-class innings with the last ton coming way back in 2020 when he scored 248 for Saurashtra against Karnataka.

IPL 2022: Updated points table after Gujarat Titans beat Chennai Super Kings by three wickets

Newcastle United`s Bruno Guimaraes grabbed a glorious stoppage-time winner with the first headed goal of his career as the hosts beat Leicester City 2-1 on Sunday to take another vital step towards preserving their Premier League status.

Guimaraes struck twice to secure the victory that moved Newcastle up to 14th place on 37 points, 12 above Burnley in 18th spot having played a game more, with Leicester now just three points ahead of the Magpies in ninth.

The Foxes went in front after 19 minutes from a cleverly-worked corner, the ball driven low into the box and pulled back for Ademola Lookman to fire goalwards, with his shot squirming under the body of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka into the net.

Guimaraes levelled for Newcastle on the half-hour mark with the first of his two goals, poking the ball over the line from between the legs of keeper Kasper Schmeichel.

The goal was initially disallowed but, after a pitch-side VAR review, referee Jarred Gillett reversed his decision and allowed it to stand.

Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin thrilled and frustrated the home crowd in equal measure, his mazy dribbles occasionally laying the foundations for promising attacks but often ending with him giving the ball away cheaply.

The Frenchman started the second half with a couple of long-range shots that failed to hit the target before Leicester took over again, maintaining possession for long spells as Newcastle struggled to mount any coherent attacks.

Neither side created much of note until the dying moments, when Joe Willock broke down the left before crossing for Brazilian Guimaraes, who threw himself at the ball to head it into the net, to delight the home crowd.

The 24-year-old was yellow-carded for taking off his shirt in celebration, and after the final whistle he threw it to a young fan in the stands, a memento of an afternoon in which Newcastle looked to have finally put enough distance between themselves and the bottom sides to ensure top-flight survival.

"To score two goals was brilliant. It was always my dream to play in the Premier League and I`m so happy for today. I want to be a legend here," Guimaraes told Sky Sports.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said: "He`s certainly popular, and rightly so after today`s performance. I thought he was magnificent in every discipline at the game."

However, he warned his side, who have six games remaining, that they are not out of the woods yet.

"We have a lot of games to play, as do the teams behind us. So we have to get more points to retain our Premier League status," added Howe.

Newcastle United`s Bruno Guimaraes grabbed a glorious stoppage-time winner with the first headed goal of his career as the hosts beat Leicester City 2-1 on Sunday to take another vital step towards preserving their Premier League status.

Newcastle United`s Bruno Guimaraes grabbed a glorious stoppage-time winner with the first headed goal of his career as the hosts beat Leicester City 2-1 on Sunday to take another vital step towards preserving their Premier League status. Guimaraes struck twice to secure the victory that moved Newcastle up to 14th place on 37 points, 12 above Burnley in 18th spot having played a game more, with Leicester now just three points ahead of the Magpies in ninth. The Foxes went in front after 19 minutes from a cleverly-worked corner, the ball driven low into the box and pulled back for Ademola Lookman to fire goalwards, with his shot squirming under the body of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka into the net. Guimaraes levelled for Newcastle on the half-hour mark with the first of his two goals, poking the ball over the line from between the legs of keeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin thrilled and frustrated the home crowd in equal measure, his mazy dribbles occasionally laying the foundations for promising attacks but often ending with him giving the ball away cheaply.

Women's IPL to be held from next year with six teams - BCCI Source

Stefanos Tsitsipas captured his second straight Monte Carlo Masters crown with a workmanlike 6-3 7-6(3) win over first-time ATP Tour finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday, claiming his first title of the 2022 season.

Greek world number five Tsitsipas` second Masters 1000 title comes at the perfect time for the 23-year-old, who is hoping to improve on his runner-up finish at last year`s French Open and claim a maiden Grand Slam title this year.

Surprise package Davidovich Fokina, who knocked out top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Indian Wells champion Taylor Fritz in the earlier rounds at Monaco, drew first blood by breaking Tsitsipas to take a 2-1 lead in the opening set.

But the world number 46 Spaniard surrendered his serve in the next game, allowing Tsitsipas to take control of the contest again and go a set up in only 31 minutes with a near-flawless display on Court Rainier III.

The pair traded breaks again in a see-sawing second set before Tsitsipas pounced in the tiebreak to secure the victory and his eighth career title when Davidovich Fokina failed to deal with a blistering backhand.

The victory helped Tsitsipas join Rafa Nadal as the only active player to win consecutive titles at Monte Carlo, with the likes of Juan Carlos Ferrero, Thomas Muster, Bjorn Borg and Ilie Nastase also achieving the feat during their playing days.

"Remarkable. I`m very proud of myself. Things didn`t seem to be going well at some points but I managed to stay well-composed and kept believing that I can finish this off," Tsitsipas said in a courtside interview.

"I`m proud of the belief I put into my game... Sometimes you doubt yourself but it`s always important to keep your head high.

"He was a difficult opponent. He fought in moments I didn`t really expect him to. He hits incredible winners out of nowhere and played extremely unpredictable, but I was able to minimise that today... I believe this is a great win against him."

Tsitsipas said later that despite his dominant display in Monaco -- where he dropped only one set against Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the quarter-finals -- his mind was not on Roland Garros beginning on May 22.

"We still have Masters 1000 events (Madrid and Rome next month) until then, so I will concentrate on those before the French Open comes along," Tsitsipas said.

Stefanos Tsitsipas downs Davidovich Fokina to defend Monte Carlo Masters crown

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a mainstay for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for quite some time and on Sunday, the pacer added a major milestone to his name.

The fast bowler became the first Indian pacer ever to take 150 wickets in the IPL as he took three wickets for his side as they defeated Punjab Kings by seven wickets. Overall, he is the third fast bowler to reach this milestone after Dwayne Bravo (174*) and Lasith Malinga (170).

The four other bowlers – Amit Mishra (166 wickets), Piyush Chawla (157), Yuzvendra Chahal (151) and Harbhajan Singh (150) – who have achieved this feat in the IPL tournament are all spinners.

Bhuvneshwar has been a part of the SRH franchise for quite some time with his best season for the side coming in 2017 when he took 26 wickets. The fast bowler was also instrumental in Sunrisers’ title winning season back in 2016 as he took 23 wickets to guide them to a brilliant victory.

On Sunday, Umran Malik took four wickets while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three as Punjab Kings were bundled out for 151. Bhuvneshwar dealt a lot of damage to the top order batsmen as expect for Liam Livingstone who scored 60 off just 33 balls, none were able to capitalise on their good starts.

In response, it was tidy batting display from SRH as Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran stitched together a decent partnership to guide them to their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament.
