While CSK's CEO Kasi Viswanathan later tested negative, the reports of bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji and their bus cleaner returned positive. However, it has been revealed that CSK's batting coach Michael Hussey has also tested positive for COVID-19 as per the test reports that came on Tuesday. However, the franchise are re-doing the test as they believe that it could be another case of false-positive just like what happened with the report of their CEO. "Mike Hussey tested positive but his samples are being redone. Hopefully, the report will come negative like CSK CEO", a source said to TOI.
