Covid positive Michael Hussey and Lakshmipathy Balaji flown to Chennai in air ambulance by CSK

CSK batting coach Michael Hussey and bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji, who tested positive for Covid-19 inside the IPL 2021 bio-bubble in New Delhi, have been flown to Chennai in an air ambulance arranged by the franchise.

Chennai Super Kings' batting coach Mike Hussey and bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji have been flown into the city from Delhi in an air ambulance as they recover from COVID-19, a top franchise official said on Thursday. Hussey and Balaji were among the prominent non-playing staff to test positive when the IPL was "indefinitely suspended" on Tuesday, following multiple COVID-19 cases inside the bio-bubble. "We decided to bring Hussey and Balaji to Chennai by an air ambulance as we have better contacts here and wanted to ensure better medical facilities in case of any need," the CSK official told PTI.
