The suspension order comes right after the captain of Delhi Capitals' Amit Mishra and Sunrisers Hyderbad's Wriddhiman Saha tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

A ten-seater flight carrying CSK players went to Rajkot and Mumbai in the morning while the evening charter plane dropped players from Bangalore and Chennai. Dhoni is scheduled to fly on Thursday evening to his home in Ranchi."

Bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji, batting coach Michael Hussey and a member of the support staff were among the people in the CSK camp to contracted the virus.
