“Deepak Chahar has returned two negative tests for COVID 19 and is back in team bubble,” CSK CEO KS Viswanathan told PTI on Wednesday.

“Now as per BCCI protocol, he will undergo a cardiovascular test which will be an indicator of his recovery. After that, he will have another COVID Test and if he is negative he can join the training,” Viswanathan said.

Deepak has completed 14-day isolation in a separate hotel.
