Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has reportedly delayed his return to Ranchi after the Indian Premier League was suspended on Tuesday in order to let his teammates, especially the foreign contingent, reach home first.
CSK is one of the teams to have multiple cases of Covid-19, with bowling coach L Balaji, batting coach Mike Hussey and a team travel staff testing positive.

CSK has organised a charter flight for its players from Delhi, continued the report. The captain is to board a flight on Thursday evening.
