The southpaw, who tested positive on March 22, has been in mandatory quarantine at his residence here, a RCB media release stated.

The 20-year-old will be fit to join the RCB bio-bubble once his RT-PCR tests are negative.

The RCB medical team is in touch with Padikkal to ensure his safety and well-being.

Padikkal is not among the 11 RCB players who are part of a training camp at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in Chennai.
