It's official, BCCI has decided to suspend IPL 2020 till 15th April 2020, as a precautionary measure against the ongoing Corona Virus situation.

IPL is confirmed to start from September 19th with the Finals on November 9th. It will be held in UAE. So that's a good 51days window for the event! Further details on the match timetable are yet to be known.

IPL broadcasting rights were purchased by Star in the year 2017 for 5 years. So, Star will be the broadcaster till 2021.

This IPL can be a major TRP puller, what with people starved of cricket and majority being at home with no major outlet for entertainment. except for TV

UAE has formally accepted bcci proposal. Now all we need is the permission from Indian government and tournament is a go. I hope it's approved as we do need some cricket entertainment in our covid struck lives.
