While all are excited for the cash-rich event, the spread of Coronavirus is starting to impact sporting events in India.
According to Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope, the cash-rich event could be held on a later date in view of the spread of the novel coronavirus.
However, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly has a different opinion and has said that the IPL will be held as scheduled. “It’s on...and BCCI will take all protection (against coronavirus),” he had said.
