The fate of the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league looks bleak. Maharashtra has banned the selling of the tickets while the Karnataka government has sought for the advice of Health Ministry on whether the IPL matches should be held in Bengaluru.
A Public Information Litigation (PIL) was filed in Madras High Court earlier this week seeking a cancellation of the 13th edition of IPL in India due to the COVID-19.
Meanwhile, various reports have emerged that BCCI is mulling the decision to stage Indian cricket’s biggest extravaganza behind the closed doors taking inspiration from other sports events across the world.
