After Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal and Krishappa Gowtham have tested Covid positive in Sri Lanka, according to ndtv.com.

The duo had not played the third T20I, which India lost miserably, as they were in isolation after being in close contact with Pandya.

Earlier today, the Indian cricket contingent left the Sri Lanka after completing a six-match white-ball series.

It couldn't be confirmed whether the two UK-bound players -- Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw -- are leaving from the Sri Lankan capital itself or will be coming back to India on a charter plane with the rest of the squad before flying off again.

India lost the T20 series 1-2 after several players of the squad had to be isolated owing to Krunal's infection.

The Indian team on Thursday finished the series, which initially was delayed due to multiple Covid-19 cases in the Sri Lankan camp after they returned from their tour of United Kingdom.

The ODI series was delayed by five days and then the second T20 International, slated on Tuesday, had to be deferred by a day after Krunal tested positive, having shown symptoms on that day.
