IPL 2021 Had Red Flags From The Beginning - Decoding The Bio-Bubble Burst

By Sahil Mathur May 04, 2021 • 16:56 PM View: 2285

The Indian Premier League(IPL) has been "indefinitely suspended with immediate effect" after Covid-19 breached the Bio-Bubble and contracted six members midway through the cash-rich tournament. However, this was bound to happen sooner or later since the bubble had several red flags from the beginning of the tournament on 9th April.

The IPL 2021 schedule was announced on 7th March in which it was decided that six cities - Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Bengaluru - will be hosting the tournament. However, in the meetings leading up to the announcement, several stakeholders and IPL governing body, headed by Brijesh Patel, proposed that the IPL should be played in UAE, just like last year.
