IPL 2021 postponed: Why is KKR vs RCB postponed?

Twitter erupted as soon as the 'KKR vs RCB postponed' news came out. Fans started wondering, "Why is KKR vs RCB postponed" and "Is IPL cancelled?" To answer the "Is IPL 2021 postponed?" query, no, the IPL 2021 is not cancelled just as yet. However, the KKR vs RCB game has been postponed after two members of the KKR contingent tested positive for COVID-19.

Reports state that Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier are two KKR players who have tested positive for the ungodly virus. Moreover, several members of the KKR camp including the likes of Australian speedster Pat Cummins are unwell and have isolated themselves. The aforementioned development is certainly set to trigger some anxiety in the tournament.

Notably, the IPL 2021 which has crossed the halfway mark, is being played behind closed doors without the presence of spectators. The franchises, as well as, all the IPL 2021 personnel are staying in strict bio-secure bubbles. However, the Sandeep Warrier and Varun Chakravarthy COVID cases development has certainly put the future of the tournament in jeopardy. It will be interesting to see how BCCI handles the situation.

Meanwhile, KKR's IPL 2021 campaign so far has been plagued with inconsistency. With two wins and five defeats, the Men in Purple are placed at the penultimate spot on the IPL 2021 points table. KKR's batting has been a big letdown, which is why they find themselves in the bottom half of the table. Their batters need to step up and put in much improved performances. The KKR team 2021 will look to cause a quick turnaround as another couple of losses will almost end their chances of qualifying for the IPL 2021 playoffs.
