The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is currently under dark clouds of the coronavirus outbreak. The deadly virus pandemic has already claimed more than 10,000 lives worldwide and India has recorded five deaths so far.

Though the number of cases and deaths in India is very less compared to many other hard-hit countries; the BCCI and the IPL governing council decided to take the correct step and postponed the upcoming IPL 13 from March 29 to April 15. This had something to do with the Indian government banning entry and exit of anyone to and from the country till the said date by suspending all visas.
