What next for the IPL 2021 tournament; when will it ideally happen?
As confirmed by BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, the IPL 2021 tournament has been halted for now. It may take place at the end of the year, as per the recent reports. Despite that, the venue of the tournament could be changed. This was reported by the former Indian skipper himself, who stated his reasons for the tournament’s location to be changed.
The protocols and the bio-bubbles are too much for the players. Due to this, the BCCI has decided to accept the proposal that was initially made by the IPL’s Governing Council and will now be moving its base. Which is going to be the country that will be hosting the remainder of the games, is yet to be decided yet. The news could be announced in the upcoming few weeks.
Three teams that will not be happy with the tournament halting at the mid-way will be the Delhi Capitals, the Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. All three teams were on top of the IPL 2021 table in that order. That was before prior to the tournament being stopped due to the few positive cases that had been detected.
