CSK tweeted a picture of Ngidi and an excited Du Plessis reaching their team hotel. They captioned it, "Early morning glories from the Rainbow Nation! #StartTheWhistles #HomeSweetDen"

Rabada also looked quite excited to reach UAE for the IPL. The Capitals posted a photo of the 25-year-old with the caption, "Johannesburg, South Africa to Dubai, UAE. @KagisoRabada25 checked in so fast, we almost missed his entry #Dream11IPL #YehHaiNayiDilli @Address_Hotels"

The trio will have to undergo a mandatory 6-day period in quarantine before joining their respective teams if they test COVID negative three times in that period. While the CSK side is under extended quarantine as a few COVID-19 cases were found in the squad, the Capitals have already begun their practice!

The IPL 2020 will begin on 19 September.
