IPL 2021: Twitter Stormed With Hilarious Tweets As IPL Gets Suspended | Watch

BCCI has taken the decision to suspend the ongoing Indian Premiere League (IPL) indefinitely after its water-tight bio-bubble was breached and multiple COVID-19 cases were reported. The first two players that have been tested COVID positive were Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier, both from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

In a statement released by BCCI today confirmed the postponement of the ongoing IPL season.

“The Indian Premier League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an emergency meeting has unanimously decided to postpone IPL 2021 season, with immediate effect. The BCCI does not want to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff and the other participants involved in organising the IPL. This decision was taken keeping the safety, health and well-being of all the stakeholders in mind.”

“These are difficult times, especially in India and while we have tried to bring in some positivity and cheer, however, it is imperative that the tournament is now suspended and everyone goes back to their families and loved ones in these trying times,” the statement read.

“The BCCI will do everything in its powers to arrange for the secure and safe passage of all the participants in IPL 2021.”

“The BCCI would like to thank all the healthcare workers, state associations, players, support staff, franchises, sponsors, partners and all the service providers who have tried their best to organise IPL 2021 even in these extremely difficult times.”

In response to this, Twitterati’s flooded the social media with hilarious comments. Have a look:
