"He has obviously got a sore knee. Given the circumstance in these bubbles, if he goes and gets a scan, he obviously has to sit out for seven days. He has to get back in quarantine. We are just monitoring him at the moment. The physios are doing their best to analyze from a face point of view but he obviously has to go out and get a scan at some point," Warner said on Wednesday.

There is some news on the fitness of Ishant Sharma as well. Ishant Sharma hasn't played a game for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2021. Many thought that he hasn't been selected as he doesn't fit in the team combination. However, it is understood that Ishant was unavailable for selection as he wasn't fully fit. But he seems to have recovered and is available for selection for DC's next game.
