India’s delayed Premier League begins on Saturday without its same brilliance and glamour as ever, however, the Twenty20 tournament deserves to be a relief for cricket enthusiasts from the coronavirus pandemic.
Short-format extravagance begins in March, but with other primary sporting events abroad, it was postponed because countries entered virus blockades and was then transferred to the United Arab Emirates as higher instances in India.
All 8 have been in strict bubbles and biosecurity since their arrival in the United Arab Emirates, and the festival will begin when the protective champions of Mumbai Indians face the Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi on September 19.
There will be no gala opening rite for the world’s richest T20 league, and matches will be played behind closed doors at 3 venues, in addition to Dubai and Sharjah.
However, The Cricket Control Board’s president in India, Sourav Ganguly, expects an increase in audience numbers for the 13th edition with matches scheduled for overnight television spaces in India.
“They (the stations) really expect the most productive IPL score this season because they think if (people) don’t end up on the ground, they’ll actually see it on their TVs,” Ganguly said.
“There’s something about everything. “
Ganguly said the crowd could even return to the stands later in the 53-day tournament, which ends on November 10.
“Because of covid and infection, you don’t need other people to be too close to others, but pretty soon you’ll see that there will be 30% of other people on the floor with a social distance,” the former captain said. .
“They are well tested and allowed to enter the ground. But I think it will take place over an era of time. “
Rajasthan Royals batsman Robin Uthappa believes the tournament will appeal to cricket enthusiasts after a year marked by sport postponements and cancellations.
“It will certainly be special this year, just because of what we’ve all experienced as a human race,” Uthappa said in a video posted on IPL’s official website.
“In those unpredictable times, we had and still crave normalcy and this tournament and sport, in general, brings that sense of normalcy back into our lives. “
– Corona virus case –
For the number of other people in the field, there will be no dancer cheerleaders.
Players will be transported to and from hotels in accordance with BCCI’s strict physical protection protocols and more than 20,000 coronavirus tests will be conducted.
The tournament has already been counted after two Chennai players tested positive for coronavirus and several high-level players withdrew in preparation, raising most non-public reasons.
The IPL is the world’s top national league, yet since its inception in 2008, it has been dealing with corruption and party settlement cases.
A points-fixing scandal in 2013 led two, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, to be suspended for two seasons.
But with the biobubble teams, Ajit Singh, HEAD of Anti-Corruption at BCCI, told the AFP last month that “controlling player-to-player interaction will be very difficult. “
Despite the controversies, the IPL has attracted the biggest foreign stars with Australian Pat Cummins, the top foreign player after being bought through Kolkata Knight Riders for $2. 17 million at auction.
The highlight will also be in the Indian stars, adding Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and star drummer Virat Kohli, who will be his first IPL name with the Bangalore Royal Challengers.
Dhoni withdrew from cricket last month, but remains one of the tournament’s biggest attractions.
