In 2020 as well cricket fans were waiting for this cricket festival with full Enthusiasm and dedication as IPL in India is not just a Game but a Craze too but because of corona virus Pandemic attack, BCCI took the decision to postponed the tournament for the betterment of all. IPL 2020, which was scheduled to start on March 29, Initially it was suspended until May 30 and Suddenly Indian government announced 21-day lock down to fight with the Covid-19 pandemic. All the transportation, shops, function, tournaments are restricted by government. BCCI was thinking to arrange IPL in other country but it is very difficult cause of current situation and safety of people comes first and then entertainment and business.
Most of the countries are stuck by lock down and it is unavoidable. BCCI has not taken any decision but is definitely postponed and all the Fans and the players have to go by it and wait for the Pandemic to get over. It is expected to be organized in the later part of the year say september-october, Only if situation improves otherwise it will be just postponed to next year and none of us want that. Not only IPL but other tournaments have also been postponed due to the same reason. Had it been IPL not a live game but a series then it could have been shooted earlier and telecasted during the lockdown but it being a live game, there is nothing can be done so all the Crazy fans have to wait for the Pandemic to get over and till then stay safe and stay Home.
