COVID-19
How did it unfold?

Since the last couple of months, India has been struggling with the second wave of COVID-19. The pandemic had hit the league even before it commenced on April 10. Several groundsmen and a few players had tested positive. However, the IPL Governing Council decided to proceed with the season. However, after recent cases, the council has finally decided to pull the plug.

BCCI was contemplating on moving the IPL to Mumbai

It was reported that the BCCI was contemplating on moving the remainder of the IPL 2020 season to Mumbai. The move was set to happen by Friday, May 7. Notably, the upcoming Kolkata and Bengaluru leg of the IPL was set to be canceled entirely. The rescheduling would have led to double headers and a possible delay as well.

Players
Several players had opted out of the IPL

Earlier, Kane Richardson and Adam Zampa opted to return home from the IPL due to "personal reasons". They joined fellow Australian Andrew Tye and Liam Livingstone of England, who had earlier headed back as the COVID-19 crisis in India surged. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals off-spinner R Ashwin decided to leave the bio-secure bubble, citing the need to be with his family during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are 12 states with over one lakh active cases: Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Seven states have active cases between 50,000-1,00,000 and 17 states have under 50,000 active cases.

Information
BCCI's decision to suspend IPL 2021 a welcome move

With India battling a deadly second wave, the move by the BCCI to suspend the IPL 2021 season comes as a blessing. Despite taking all necessary protocols, players have still got affected and there was no point in risking lives. This is a welcome move.
