The outbreak of the pandemic coronavirus had a toll on all the sporting activities across the globe including the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had to postpone the league until April 15 which was scheduled to commence from March 29.
There have been a lot of reports going around on the fate of the cash-rich league. Earlier, it was noted that BCCI might take a call after April 14 when the lockdown gets over. But with the lockdown to continue for two more weeks, this is ruled out and the governing body might take some more time to decide to future.

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly recently admitted that he is yet to give a clear picture on the tournament. He also added that he can say something only after having a discussion with the other office-bearers.
“I will be able to give an update on that on Monday after speaking to the other office-bearers (of BCCI). But practically speaking, when life has come to a standstill everywhere in the world, where does sport have a future in this,” Sourav Ganguly told The New Indian Express.

Furthermore, speaking about the current situation, the former India skipper labelled it as terrible. Ganguly also noted that he hasn’t witnessed anything of this sort ever in his life.
“It’s terrible. In my 46 years of life, I never experienced anything like this. Not just that, the world has never seen anything like this. And I hope nobody sees this situation again. The entire world is thinking how many people may die in the next two weeks! It’s unbelievable,” Ganguly added.
