NEW DELHI : Four top Indian men's badminton players including former CWG gold medallist Parupalli Kashyap, HS Prannoy and RMV Gurusaidutt, have tested positive for COVID-19 but they are all "asymtomatic". Doubles specialist Pranaav Jerry Chopra is the fourth player to test positive. "The players took the RT-PCR test as a precautionary measure a few days back after one of them was showing very mild symptoms. "Kashyap, Guru, Prannoy and Pranaav returned positive but Saina tested negative," a source in the Gopichand academy told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Doubles player Satwiksairaj Rankireddy had also tested positive for the virus in August but has returned to training.
